pictures from
this new telescope
unveiled
glimpses of
an early universe
in spirals
clusters
and clouds
of colour
amidst
an ever-changing
luminescent haze
stretched across
the bespeckled
vastness of black;
a cosmic dance
of light
through time
and space
both answering
and posing
countless potentials
even so
it is difficult
not to compare
these images
with what
can be seen
by looking through
a child's kaleidoscope
