Picture of a flower nebula (NGC 2040) captured by the Gemini telescope

Cosmic verse rose
Blooming in deep space
Sending red hues
Thousands of light years away
Your splendor fascinates me
Who planted your bulb
In the dark soil of the night sky?
Who tends your garden?
Who assured your brilliance?

Freezing soil
But keep digging
Digging deeper
Deeper still
Dig deep
Into your freezing soul
Until you're below
The frost line
And thaw your heart out
There is warmth always
Just below the coldness
