Through the Lens of the Spitzer Space Telescope--By Valerie Macon--United States

Through the Lens of the Spitzer Space Telescope

we visit the outer court of God’s dwelling place,
a star-studded palate painted with His wide brush,
splashed with milky ways, sprinkled with galaxies,
spinning with planets, meteors and moons.
This is the corridor of angels who
go in and out from the presence of God,
the way of Elijah’s fiery chariot,
battleground of principalities and powers,
the place where angels hold back winds
for the day of destruction.
Could man, a molecule in cosmos,
change climate breathed by its Creator,
or poke a hole in ozone wrapped by God?
From His throne, eons above September-
blue sky and Spitzer’s field of vision,
He holds together the pinhead center
of a black hole and the quasar in a distant galaxy.
And He is able to fix the broken.
