Stepping Out Of This World

Photo by John McKaveney ~  Hotel 

Kulmhotel Gornergrat Observatory Hotel in Switzerland, located at 10,171 feet.”    


atop this alpine inn 

a most magical sight

an observatory awaits

bathed in starlight

as dusk slips away

and night sky unfurls

constellations dance

in celestial swirls

orion is waltzing holds 

ursa major tight

cassiopeia spins

with starry delight

lean close, my darling  

we must listen well  

the dense milky way 

has stories to tell 

of comets lost

and lunar spring

black holes that hum

quasars that sing

at dawn there's espresso

brewed with great care

steam spirals swirling 

like galaxies rare
