Poem by Pat Durning
Poem read by Taylor Hart
Eternal Eye
Cold.
Silent.
Alone in the Dark sits
Our Hope of Discovery
Our Fear of not Knowing
*
Calculated, slow Assembly; one piece resting upon another
By the group that builds:
…while paying the mortgage
…taking the kid to school
…caring for a dying parent
…living, Loving
One moment upon the next, dusk till dawn
Work for an eternal glimpse motoring on
*
Test and Twist
Push and Pull for the unknown journey ahead
While safe in the gravity of our planets’ Earthen beds
*
A collective of insights:
…minds for science
…builders
…movers
…testers
…those that oversee
Grouped together for a moment in time to
Test and Twist, Push and Pull
*
Cold Silence
Traveling in the dark
Further away gliding, until commanded to stop
*
Galaxies seen!
Unknowing becomes clear
Cold, silent Space
Our Eternal Eye rests Here
