Astronomer Carl Sagan wrote,

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

It could be the most recent moon in the universe
Hiding behind a planet long known.

It might be the shy newly moved-in neighbor
Whose face lights up when I say hello.

The birth of a child whose promise spools forward
Teaches possibilities loving families provide.

The universe is a wide narrative awaiting me
To dip in my pen and write what I see.

   Gorgeous, I love the idea of ‘promise spooling forward’, which I think is what your poem encapsulates.

     I appreciate your observation. I hadn’t thought of my whole poem as spooling forward. I see that now. ❤
