Comet

Blazing across the sky

Before or long after 

We have ever seen

Or will see

The real time light

But it has traveled so far

To show us

Brilliance

Marvelous show

Of time

Of space

Of beauty

One moment

Of looking down 

At a shoe in a puddle

Seeing the beginning

Of hope reflected

In the smooth glass

Of water 

Of the dark sky

Oh, look up

And see it

Marvel at the gift!
