On first looking into the awesome pictures
Floating back to us from deep space
For a moment it felt like spelunking
Into a dark cave's huge walls
Lit up with ancient paintings
Strange how I felt a little
Claustrophobic at first
And stopped breathing
Without a body to sustain me
The moment of letting go of everything
When you see that it includes yourself
But it passed in amazement and relief
It's not just that there are stars
And galaxies that go on forever
But that somehow they all survive in us
