Poem by Phooi Jing
Poem read by Kate Jolly
Trillions of stars beaming far,
The universe breathes pristine air ,
Nebulae shields the heaven's breath,
To thousands light years away where secrets stay.
The Big Bang nurtures the first gallon of fluid,
Turns it into series of beauty,
The goddess of beauty we live in,
Maps of dark matter and energy awaiting to be seen.
Old man Hubble has the the glory,
Charted on the milestone gleaming,
The successor Webb has now ready,
To be the heir of this obligated journey.
Stars, planets, humans, ants,
We all are made of the same universe grains,
The symbol of evolution ---- James Webb,
We ride to explore another blue light,
In the name of revolution that births a fruit bright,
We venture into stardust on another flight.
