A radiant view lingers inside my eyes, suspended in the unknown hemisphere of eternity, of pure innocence where its moons and dust alight. I sense the rocks and craters of Mars as one drift. Yet , upon creation's fathomless vortex, there are certainties. While I, an observer in this expanse break into a thrilled stun, as the grandeur of matter and red kiln recall the ways of genesis when chants from gods prophesied, ‘ Star of Fire.’ And each motion of this orb knows its pull before circling amidst outer space. I pause... the novice in me sees all brethren worlds vibrating in a rhythm of fluid continuity. I pause…stirred by this lineage of oneness borne from holy design, roaming to greet friendly strangers in a journey to reach a terminal carrying life’s original seeds. A Brian Strand Contest:

I have never heard of a "Fire Star" before. It sounds to me as if it is an ancient reference to a Supernova explosion. I will remember that name and do a little research. My very best regards, Nette. :) john.

You pulled me in right from the start, but the last line was totally incredible! Had a stimulating journey with you through Mars' rocks and its universal flow. One of the best poems i have read in a while, Nette.
