Solar Whales

Black is the oceans of the heavens, gleaming with the coral reef of Stars, serenity amongst the voids abyss, it is fathomless, a Universal sea eternal, beauty set upon the heights divides. A rushing torrent of vastness ever flowing, always changing Uncharitable by navigation or mechanical device, it is the Infinite masterpiece of the almighty's master craftsman’s ship, Too which the yardmen cast their sails of discovery, following The farthest northern star. Shimmer does the cosmic sand dust, aligning the distant Planetary shores, splashing with the rippling waves Beyond time and space. This is the cradle of life’s essence, the tidal pool of our emergence, Suspended above, lit by the burning sun on the horizon’s hardened Edge of survival, without a ports harbor for safeties sheltering cove. Captain am I, of my own destiny, first mate of mine divine soul, I’m an elliptical voyager, seeking the unknown passage, Beyond the outer limits of spaces tidal rift. Floating islands of motions asteroids, bumping as frozen ice bergs, Shattering in the gravitational pull of these space continental giants, Melting within their grasping heated touch. But I am a hunter by trade and necessity, looking for the prey in These lunar waters of blackness, call me Ahab, seeking the great White whale, slick is this leviathan, a chameleon blending, diving into The rippling surf of this black hole of this universe. Nay call me neither mad, nor insane for I've seen this space whale, Lined with crystal diamonds, sparkling beneath the solar array, Breathing liquid air and spitting it outwardly full steam ahead. Mockingly at me, he winks with those sea foam blue eyes, I'm not set to kill the beast, but to instead marvel at his realism, And to prove the unidleness of my mental mind. So I will tread this galaxy in search of him, forever to ramble Along these distant planetary shores, until another soul beholds This creature of divine beauty, call me then Ahab, seeking To find his great white whale.
