Where are the stars born, we might ask
A celestial womb must lie somewhere
But how can such a think take place?
It surely is a strange affair.
Far Hubble gives us splendid views
Of clouds of dust and stars so bright
And there they are, those nebulous towers
From where the newborns come to sight.
A few emerging can be seen
Cocooned somehow their form concealed
”It’s all just science that we know”
The experts once again revealed.
But still I stand in awe before
A power so great and so diverse
Creating on the grandest scale
A nursery of the universe.
