Fire Star
A radiant view lingers inside my eyes,
suspended in the unknown hemisphere
of eternity, of pure innocence
where its moons and dust alight. I sense
the rocks and craters of Mars as one drift.
Yet , upon creation's fathomless vortex,
there are certainties. While I, an observer
in this expanse break into a thrilled stun,
as the grandeur of matter and red kiln
recall the ways of genesis when chants
from gods prophesied, ‘ Star of Fire.’
And each motion of this orb knows its pull
before circling amidst outer space. I pause...
the novice in me sees all brethren worlds
vibrating in a rhythm of fluid continuity.
I pause…stirred by this lineage of oneness
borne from holy design, roaming to greet
friendly strangers in a journey to reach
a terminal carrying life’s original seeds.
