silent beauty (stars)
another
early morning
before
the sun
even dreams
of waking,
the cluster
of stars
visible
somewhere,
even though
hidden from
my view,
i know
they are
just
above me,
silent beauty
waiting.

The Moon
The stars over looking the moon.
All gliding across the galactic ark.
Sometimes it like a race
Stars & the moon.
In which the moon always wins.
Its that fast.
Appearing in day light.
At dawn and dusk.
Other wise dwarfed by the only.
Star in the sky.
At night millions & millions of stars.
Appear as dots, pinholes against the dark.
The wanders drift about only visible at night.
Jupiter to Romans the greatest of the gods.
Who's Moons once aided navigation at sea.
Venus Roman goddess of love, ...
All gliding across the galactic ark.
Sometimes it like a race
Stars & the moon.
In which the moon always wins.
Its that fast.
Appearing in day light.
At dawn and dusk.
Other wise dwarfed by the only.
Star in the sky.
At night millions & millions of stars.
Appear as dots, pinholes against the dark.
The wanders drift about only visible at night.
Jupiter to Romans the greatest of the gods.
Who's Moons once aided navigation at sea.
Venus Roman goddess of love, ...

The Wolf moon.
The full moon.
The wolf moon.
Coincides with a peak.
View of Mars.
Roman god of war.
Moon romantic celestial body.
For some a portent.
Some an omen.
Others just coincident.
The moon, the wolf & Mars.
That's some scary shit.
Right there.
The wolf moon.
Coincides with a peak.
View of Mars.
Roman god of war.
Moon romantic celestial body.
For some a portent.
Some an omen.
Others just coincident.
The moon, the wolf & Mars.
That's some scary shit.
Right there.

A Day Without Sun
I despise this wretched place
Where the sky forever heralds light
Sunbeams scorch and burn my face
A relentless, golden blight
I yearn for cold shade
The solace of shadowed rule
Umbral waters I'd wade
Immersed in its Cimmerian pool
I pray for the sun’s dying breath
For Nox to reign and smother more
Yet I know I plead in vain with death
This battle is lost, this endless war
From this cursed, red-dusted soil
I call to the night for its start
To end this gleaming, sky-lit boil
Return my race's starborne...
Where the sky forever heralds light
Sunbeams scorch and burn my face
A relentless, golden blight
I yearn for cold shade
The solace of shadowed rule
Umbral waters I'd wade
Immersed in its Cimmerian pool
I pray for the sun’s dying breath
For Nox to reign and smother more
Yet I know I plead in vain with death
This battle is lost, this endless war
From this cursed, red-dusted soil
I call to the night for its start
To end this gleaming, sky-lit boil
Return my race's starborne...

Avant Fantasia Nox
Lo, 'twas in dream’s abyssal shade I stray’d
Where no sun’s fair hand the dark allay’d
A vast and formless void did yawn
Bereft of stars, nor heralded dawn
Yet in that gloom, a beauty dire did dwell
A chasm deep, an unspoken spell
A melody strange, unearthly and dread
By mortal ear ne’er safely read
The air did quiver thick with might
Aether’s breath, both sweet and blight
Forms unshapen in the murk did glide
Neither flesh nor spirit, but worlds beside
Most who glimpse such alien grace
Would flee in haste...
Where no sun’s fair hand the dark allay’d
A vast and formless void did yawn
Bereft of stars, nor heralded dawn
Yet in that gloom, a beauty dire did dwell
A chasm deep, an unspoken spell
A melody strange, unearthly and dread
By mortal ear ne’er safely read
The air did quiver thick with might
Aether’s breath, both sweet and blight
Forms unshapen in the murk did glide
Neither flesh nor spirit, but worlds beside
Most who glimpse such alien grace
Would flee in haste...

15 Billion
15 billion miles from Earth
My son sits and wonders what’s beyond the universe
A bunny hops into the grass and we laugh and giggle
I think my son can be an Astronaut for Ages
We stare at the sky sometimes I don’t know why
We watch 3 crows chase a bigger Hawk
We always appreciate the beauty of nature
Go in the back yard pitch baseballs in the net
As we do, me and you are like me,we are on a string
See bumble bees times two buzzing around us
So we throw the ball back and forth ...
My son sits and wonders what’s beyond the universe

Celestial Light
Planets aligned like mine
At a different time
Same…inclination(s)
Tour guide
Life guide
When I thought
Spirituality
Belonged…elsewhere
Your patience
Kindness
Acceptance
Encouragement
Showed me
That celestial unity
Community
Spirituality
Resides on a
Much lower plane
I couldn’t be more
Grateful
That you reached
Out to me
From DUP
My found family

In Front of Us
Melding metal 400000
Putting a bearing on smooth rails
Precision sailing through Panama Canal
Brush the mirror into completion
Possessive in me 200 inch disk
5 tons of glass 2 millionths of an inch perfection
Pause before barbarity task of polishing
Job is done on Mount Palomar telescoping me
Saw the life and death of stars I’m one of them
Capabilities within you it amazes me
Hubb has seen 12 billion light years in front of us
Putting a bearing on smooth rails
Precision sailing through Panama Canal
Brush the mirror into completion
Possessive in me 200 inch disk
5 tons of glass 2 millionths of an inch perfection
Pause before barbarity task of polishing
Job is done on Mount Palomar telescoping me
Saw the life and death of stars I’m one of them
Capabilities within you it amazes me
Hubb has seen 12 billion light years in front of us

Abyssus
"And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you" - Nietzsche
My mind contains a special
spiral galaxy.
My solar system of soul's needs.
Billions of starry thoughts
conjoined with very dark matter.
My eyes hunt, haunt and
sometimes flatter.
Within a super massive black hole
I am caught.
Thoughts ache to be heard.
The abyss is void of vocal word.
Speech is through vibration.
Annihilation of misinterpretation.
If it is depth you crave,
plunge as deep as you...
My mind contains a special

Billions of starry thoughts

Thoughts ache to be heard.
The abyss is void of vocal word.

A Desolate Pale
Betwixt the spheres, where no light treads
A chasm yawns, where silence spreads
No star doth shine, nor time can cling
In the place where black stars hang, unseen
Aether’s breath, cold and thin
Cradles neither life nor sin
No gods dwell here, nor demons scheme
Only the void’s eternal dream
The winds do howl, though none draw near
A dirge of forms we dare not hear
Shapes unbidden, unseen, yet felt
In their shadow, even chaos melts
What horrors lurk in yon abyss?
Not fangs, nor claws, nor serpents hiss
But...
A chasm yawns, where silence spreads
No star doth shine, nor time can cling
In the place where black stars hang, unseen
Aether’s breath, cold and thin
Cradles neither life nor sin
No gods dwell here, nor demons scheme
Only the void’s eternal dream
The winds do howl, though none draw near
A dirge of forms we dare not hear
Shapes unbidden, unseen, yet felt
In their shadow, even chaos melts
What horrors lurk in yon abyss?
Not fangs, nor claws, nor serpents hiss
But...

A Black Star
Lo, in the shadowed eaves of night’s dark keep
Where no sun’s solace nor moon doth creep
A black star hangs, unblinking, cursed
Its baleful gaze o’ th’ heavens reversed
Yon lightless orb, a wound in the firmament
Doth whisper foul in tongues unsent
A hollow hymn, the void’s decree
It singeth not life, but entropy
Hark, the wailing wind doth call
Through barren wood and ruined hall
The stones weep blood, the roots do writhe
As life is scourged by death alive
The air is thick with dread's foul breath
