Galaxies

lights like so many millions of fireflies
the galaxies flash light and color
pinwheels of stars that no one can imagine
it can only be seen through a telescope
great and small offer a window
into the surreal universal landscape
where nurseries of gases birth new stars
and glow in ways we can’t imagine on earth
can one of these points of light be home
to others who breathe as we breathe
who think and talk in ways we might understand
and if they do, could we possibly meet them

and could it possibly resolve our woes?
