I look up through my window and see
millions of dots of light
stars,
balls of plasma,
things of wonder.

Ever since the beginning,
we've studied them.
Looking for ourselves in their reflections.

Their formations are like maps.
Maps to far off places,
that who knows if we will ever reach.

But I wonder...
will we find hope in space and the stars?
Or will we find terror?

I've been fascinated about the stars since I was little, and that fascination came through in this poem.
