Red Shift
Red shift
Blue shift
How far is far?
Our universe bends and stretches light
And calls the answer out each night
Peer and discover with the naked eye
Andromeda’s galaxy pasted to the sky
Unmoving, frozen, said men long ago
Yet now our sages claim to know
Red shift
Blue shift
Dopplering light waves
Galaxies like you and I behave
Humankind, lovers in elliptic orbit
Circling closer, wanting more but
Pass close by then grow more distant
Drawn to a center, passing by in an instant
Sages and scientists like to say
Andromeda and the Milky Way
Will collide and fuse before all is done
Too far for us, but they will be one.
