The universe has since childhood enthralled me
The pictures from the new telescope are fascinating to see
Black holes, supernovas and nebulae
Cosmic cliffs, interstellar dust, galaxies
The awe-inspiring images have brought the universe closer to humankind
I am curious to know the latest astronomical finds..

I had thought of the universe in purely visual terms
But recently about sonification I happened to learn
The digital data captured by telescopes has been translated
Into images, but with the same data, sounds can be created
Initially I was skeptical about this sonification technique
But I tried listening to the sounds, ready to critique
To my surprise, hearing the symphony and watching the images simultaneously
Of nebulae and galaxies was a unique experience multisensory
By the sounds of the universe I was completely mesmerized
The auditory experience complimented the images before my eyes

To explore the universe through both sight and sound
Had an impact on my mind and soul profound
In knowing the wonders of the universe, I have an interest intense
I shall continue to follow telescopic evidence
Passion...unbridled
