Pinpricks of pale light, holes in the nightsky,
Burning hot and bright, take wing and fly,
Between rotating quasars, shooting high-energy lasers,
Through nebula birthing, stars with planets orbiting.
The Universe is yours to witness and behold,
What lies beyond are mysteries untold, fold
Yourself down infinitesimally small,
And you'll see atoms that make us all.
Open your eyes wide, let in the pale light,
Pinpricks in the nightsky, burning bright.
