Interstellar Dust

INTERSTELLAR DUST Wrapped in darkness alone I abide Underneath these starry skies. Northern Cross or graceful swan A billion years their lights have shone. Swimming these dark matter oceans I am filled with humble emotions. Ninety-nine percent I cannot see, So much is sought in luminosity, Shrouded by the Uncertainty And the Theory of Humanity. Born of elements, the cosmic seed. Then into the heart-space and all that bleeds Consciousness, the I that sees Struck by waves of possibilities. So here I stand, my thoughts to rust, Nothing more than interstellar dust.

A great write, Phil. It's imaginative and thought provoking. I Love the way you employed the couplet form here with each pairing constantly reinforcing the one one before and after in a coherent manner. These 3 lines were particularly awesome "Born of elements, the cosmic seed. / Then into the heart-space and all that bleeds / Consciousness, the I that sees

I've always thought Nature created a creature that could describe and admire beauty so Nature could look at itself, humans are its mirror..good luck in the contest
