there, (and nowhere), deep in the meat of stars we were brought to be ... essence and divine intent spun to matter in a conflagration, consuming the eons tended, like tears without a cheek abiding the contingencies, sublime, to breathe us ... miracle of all that is known - LIFE - of stardust! ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Stardust" Free Verse Poetry Contest, Nette Onclaud, Judge & Sponsor.

I always admire the way your words enchant me with layers of creations and history, rather mystery of the cosmos. This is gorgeous. Congratulations on your win Greg :)

Another gem G, it amazes me that the same elements of life here on earth and the rest of the universe are one and the same, only one word escapes the grasp of many intellectuals...your use of it brings me joy...Intent. did all the particles and elements of life assemble themselves? I think not!

Gregory Richard Barden
Date: 6/22/2020 12:35:00 PM

Thank you for noticing that element, John, as it is clearly the most important and crucial, and what I built this poem AROUND ... blessings for your discernment, my friend, one of the Fruits of the Spirit! Thanks again, Bud! :o)
