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.

Beautiful 🙂 I was very impressed and love your concluding lines. Have a great day!
Thank you Ms.Owl. Have a good weekend. ❤
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. ❤
