Try to measure the great gaps
between the stars;
the width, the depth of the universe.
Within this eternal theater,
the black curtain of night
reveals familiar constellations.
Orion and Cassiopeia,
accent these winter skies
on this calm, cold night.
You are invited to watch
the silent performance
of ten-thousand stars
burning on this midnight stage.
