Walking to
Proxima Centauri
would take
nine hundred fifty
million years.
I cannot see it
with my naked eye,
yet,
with infinite marvel
I believe it to be there.
Curiosity is the first step.

Sounds like you are going on a journey of sorts and it may take some time to get there. Curiosity can be a wonderful thing yet dangerous in the same instance. I like your choice of format...it's different. Well done.
Hello, Carrie!
I love your interpretation! Proxima Centauri is actually the closest star to our Earth, after our Sun. I really should have added that in the last few words. I am in awe of all that is beyond our sight, and also in awe of the curiosity, and the science, that discovered these boundless bodies in the universe. It is math and magic all in one!
Thank you for reading and helping with this!

(I'm gonna add a note in the last few words to help explain a bit. Thanks, again!)
dearest Lavender,
You often give us (Neopoets) something to think on... I find you to be a genius and a pioneer.
