Stellar Realms
The stellar realms their laws obey
regardless what our scopes display
or how we wriggle facts around
in outer space, on earthly ground,
to match what present pundits say.
For truth is truth whate’er the sway
of those who mark our mortal stay
while in reality are found
the stellar realms.
With reaches deeper than one may
yet fathom in the mind’s array—
enlightenment beyond the bound—
but oh delusion’s sleep is sound—
inhere within and faraway
the stellar realms.
