Thomas Wells Poet Free verse

From Stars

Our bodies are made from stars,
The lustrous sanguinity of speckled nocturne,
The dispelled chemistry of supernovas.
Trillions of years old,
Trillions of miles traveling,
We are children of spacetime.  

Our bodies are made from stars,
Our psyche emerged like fire 
From star formulas of life’s order.
Spontaneous beings, 
We always were and will be.

Our bodies are made from stars,
Any omnipresent maker certainly expected
Our rollout in animated evolution,
And positioned us opposing
The universal drift toward chaos.

But assembled with molecules,
                What then is our place in the universe?
Our bodies are made from stars.

Anil Deo December 20, 2021 at 4:37 PM DR. Wells, Happy Holdays and all the HOLI-ness you prefer. I read this poem again: i really appreciate this poem doesn't claim ALL the answers. It has an innocence akin to that of an infant, inalienable & "ordered" Universe. shalomshalom Friend Thomas Wells December 21, 2021 at 8:46 PM Thank you again and again, dear friend! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! - Thomas

Linda Alice Fowler November 1, 2021 at 11:13 AM I like this Thomas. A dissociation from usual perception - and thought-provoking. Linda Thomas Wells November 5, 2021 at 2:37 PM I'm glad you like it, Linda! Thank you.

Anil Deo October 18, 2021 at 1:58 AM possible answers: our body are made of stars; we are the galaxy in microcosm so there's no need to see galaxies out there. See galaxies within, also (Kingdom of God is within you," said Jesus long ago: Luke 17;21) Thomas Wells October 20, 2021 at 9:41 PM That's a beautiful answer. Thanks, Anil!
