The stars shift in the sky around our home,

and we shift in the sky around theirs,

like some great cosmic cog wheel.

Interlocking forces and components....

galactic nuts and bolts in some giant machine that we call the universe.

Operating in perfect unison.....

vast orbs spinning and weaving,

movements perfectly timed and executed,

like a great heavenly dance.

Begetter of mysteries .......

nameless alien entities, eddies of cosmic dust,

circulating through the perpetual, cryptic darkness.

Flawless configuration......

minuscule components in a vast and complex system,

yet each one a vital part of its structure.

Beginning unknown, and ending a mystery......

which causes me to wonder.... who is the architect, and who is the commander of this machine?
