The nature of the world is that
Within it everything can be,
Wherever someone may be at,
There’s some simultaneity.
As, for example, day and night
For any moment in between
Depends on where one is in light
Of how the sun is to be seen.
The planet we stay on is round
So even as Columbus showed
Wheresoever a person’s bound
He comes upon an open road;
And that goes far beyond a fact
Of any lands he had to find—
As every ocean must be backed
By islands lying just behind
Those new horizons to unfold
By promises of more to see,
Beyond all legends of lost gold
Within this world—infinity
Is, finding what is always new
And makes of old an origin,
For anything that’s out of view
Adventures beg us to begin.
So by that voyage which began
Upon the premise of a globe
Columbus set the stage for Man
To launch a planetary probe;
Whilst Galileo with his glass,
By looking through a telescope,
That universe should far surpass
What men had heretofore to grope.
