Starlight is the past

Unfolding before our eyes.

Venerable glow.

The lovelight in your lover's eye,

the red dot target of a laser sight,

both travel toward you at the same rate.

Science fiction stories are often predicated on having spacefaring vessels that are faster than the speed of light (FTL), although this is still only a fictitious concept.

There’s a star that died

A million years ago

Still shining on you

It’s a wild thought isn’t it? Like a luminescent death mask. Love this!

Starlight , dim light ,

Shimmers silent streams.

Einstein’s dream to travel faster speeds

Never to be seen.

Blink and you'll miss them,

Glory days, they're gone so fast,

But great while they last... 😎

The black hole's old light,

and the event horizon,

makes death eternal

Sonic bells toll what’s to come

Eight minutes to pray

In the dark of space

Light paints the sky with its grace

A blink a heartbeat
