Joined Worlds

Telescope your love to me
My planet seeks you out
In this and every other world
Viewed in a blur of stars
Swirled on a blanket void in black
Night glancing back through light
Enchanted twinklings flirt with time
Out for a dance, out of focus, turned inside out
A last glance at history once in the making
As is eternity's way to hold the moment fast
Devices set in motion never stop
Long back and forth looks through lenses
It is only you I see when time begins to bend
Feel you through the universe of truth now spent
Never ending clarity telescoped to me from you
I wait for sounds that are not there
How can it be the present under such conditions
Since I can not see into the past to find a future
Where your system ended long ago before my birth
Before your light could reach the Earth
