David Williams Poet Sijo

Cosmos Un -Seen

Floating high in deepest space, un-seen by eye, exploding stars
breath new life, from gas and rocks a planets birth, that leaves a trail
for mankind to annihilate, this planet earth once was blue!

Solar flares soar out through space disrupting waves and bending light
heat and life, a nucleus that keeps us warm…elementary
unconquered, a viking probe spies, breaks barriers seeking signs

While black holes devour light; then inside out birthing new stars
galaxies stretch out fingers to a dark void; infinity
the big bang brought us life and hope from gravity; gravitas.

Andrea Dietrich June 25, 2014 at 3:52 PM You sure know how to write, David! and Gosh, is this the gravity contest? You have me curious to know which contest . I did not know Debs still had a contest going on. how are things going on the home front for you?

Robert Lindley June 23, 2014 at 10:57 PM A fine write my friend.. Black holes are doorways into other dimensions where other universes exist. multi-verses...All matter going into a black hole disintegrates yet it reforms in the other dimension, my theory.
