Astronomer Peering through a telescope Trying to grasp reality Dust gathers in his eyelash Beyond observatory walls Galaxies in Space - empty To understand, to explain Mosquito over Niagara Falls Hanging on abyss - eternity With a limited human brain Cloudy mists and raindrops Every flow and every splash Every drop at every bend, Every eddy, every crash. Where does it begin or end? Everything else is in vain It is here the bucket stops Everlasting search forever Reality he can't capture Amid the deafening thunder Plight of an astronomer... G. E.
