Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Dot Dot Dot Daughter

Yes

Fear not my daughter 

I am that blind lightning

And the deaf thunder

You can't hear and see

Rising over the distant event horizon

Signing out to you in morse 
flags and metaphor

Dot , Dot , Dot

SoS

Love 

I hate to see you frown

David Kavanagh September 18, 2020 at 2:25 PM Like this Christopher your message is clear, that damn event horizon is hiding something that cannot be bargained with, it simply is the be all and end all to our understanding of the cosmos and reality, but it’s possibilities are endless, and offer hope, in my head anyway, cheers David David Kavanagh September 21, 2020 at 10:15 AM What sort of a creature does it make me, finding hope where the very fabric of science and understanding becomes unexplainable, maybe I’m just hanging on to the unknown, to offer us something other than death. It’s certainly not optimism. Christopher Flaherty September 20, 2020 at 5:03 PM In your head lies hope then David And long may it real tangible possibility
