My carbon fibre beanstalk
Climbs up to the giants
Brooding beyond the clouds.
I am a flourish of Nature
The momentum of the moment
Tied to the globe with gossamer thread
A string that plays one note
Rising from the fiery wells
Through slowly thinning air
The heartbeat of the world
Vibrates into silence.
I reach geostation
In the shadow of the Earth
A sign of intelligent life
Tethered to my little box of warmth
Floating in a cold sky.
Now I am held in the angels' path
The wind of lights
The curtains of the north
At the pause of gravity.
From the plenitude of stars
Great eyes may be upon us -
Are we common, rare, unique?
My one eye is open,
Plumbs beyond the shadow,
Casting lines of sight
Back, back through the deeps of space and time.
