Within the hazy clouds of the cosmos, Amongst the glint of boiling stars and asphyxiating dust, Where phantasmal realms dance with bleak reality, Lie the foundations of new life in the universe’s incubator. Specks of calcium cling to asteroids bound for distant galaxies, While water vapour forms crystals upon comets, Hurling hope toward unknown planets. Birth, death, and rebirth happen within the fractals of a second, All while humanity spills precious blood contemplating existence.

Powerful thoughts to think upon, in this well-written poem, Sara. It's not all about us, is it? Write On my friend! Bill

What a powerfully hitting and poetically moving piece this is, dear Sara! The imagery you've painted is so poignant and profound, conveying such vulnerable truths and depth about the cycle of life. I absolutely love your phenomenal wordsmithery here that elevates me to another realm, especially "Birth, death, and rebirth happen within the fractals of a second, All while humanity spills precious blood contemplating existence" Sigh, that speaks a lot! I'm always awestruck by your artistic manner of weaving metaphors and especially, your words here flow together so flawlessly. Brilliant take on the stamp image and a creative poem for the contest! Always a pleasure reading your work. Best wishes and light! A FAVE ~
