The Cosmic Alliance

By Joanne Tolson

 

The cosmic alliance in the Universe

Begins among the stars

Nearby and far out in the distance.

Stars are shining somewhere in the night,

Galaxies explode; the Universe is alit.

It’s alive, like a spark plug in an engine

And a piston pounding up and down.

That’s how quasars make the Universe sound.

Our galaxy is full of noises,

But anyone can hear a star’s loud cry.
