(Written after seeing a coloured photograph of the ‘Galactic Bulge’ area of the Milky Way taken from the Hubble space telescope) <br /> <br />Great God it takes one’s very breath away <br />To see the Hubble picture of the Milky Way, <br />A million trillion separate stars that shine <br />To fill with sacred light the firmament divine.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-milky-way-3/
