Notes About The Poem

 

Recommended: Secrets of the Universe: How We Discovered the Cosmos ...

Cosmic Impressions

I  shall forever remain 
a night’s celestial pilgrim
meandering beneath
the skyscape’s  towering dome --
And along  the cobblestone
of  luminous  runways,
jewels of flamed  beamers  seem to flick
beyond earth’s  tableau as  the grandeur
from  anonymous stars  explode,

That I imagine Orion’s  groove
whirling around a trillion cosmic moons—
nameless yet ascertained...
for some percieved reason, each nova
circles on its own orbital zone
pulsing then ebbing through my
enigmatic impression ... until
I am devoured by each shimmer,
each odyssey, each dancelight--
making my quill’s ink curdle again.
