Universe Haiku
Immense universe
Black paper parchment with holes
Soaking in earth's light
Who is your maker?
Is it the great Greek Ammon?
Perhaps you evolved
Don't mock me high One
You cannot burn me with stars
For I have water
Your great galactic
Space has only fate and fire
Nothing I don't have
You live forever
Sometimes giving me a glimpse
A flash of strange bright
Your only true might
Is vastness and secrecy
I will find your soul
CASSINI goes forth
To steal your ancient treasures
Yet I still tremble
