Nette Onclaud Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

Premiere V- Open Contest of Rob Carmack... Submitted 16 Dec 2024

Galactic Force

Beyond the skyline, I watch an expanse
    outside this earthly  realm…
torches of  balls glitter in seamless motion,
 orange streaks rolling in random numbers,
    circling ' round their territory
like crystal fibrils wheeling, darting,
   perhaps prancing…

Yet in relays, heavenly bodies afar
do not collide with  one another
 each of them holding an alchemy where 
millions are unnamed, undefined, unattained.

Pray tell, of what purpose do they rule
   through a mystery, perceived  by
human theories, not by an imprimatur
 of a Source's universal law?

Prophets say it will take light years
to touch their faces and claim 
 residence within  this galactic space
 ... but for now, mark it
as a restricted passageway.

Ink Empress December 17, 2024 at 9:16 PM What a deep write this is dear nette, i got hooked from the very first line and got lost within the descriptive lines so well articulated and written! You have a very unique way with words! Truly! Pleasure reading this

Maria Williams December 17, 2024 at 8:39 PM Very profound Nette, and I congratulate you for knitting these mysteries all together. I Wish you and your family a Merry and Joyful Christmas filled with peace, laughter and most of all the gift of health. Hugs Maria

Duke Beaufort December 17, 2024 at 7:21 AM Nette, this poem does indicate (and I think correctly so) that we will never understand what the universe is or what drives all the motion. The immense size of all that is out there does tend to isolate us from whatever is there. Hard to know just how unique our own planet is and if what we have here is somewhat duplicated somewhere. Smiles!!

Paige Hind December 16, 2024 at 7:05 PM I think I read this posted before - but it doesn't mean it isn't great poetry, makes me feel a part of the Oneness of the Universe...and it's a pleasure always to read your work <3
