Opening Night

With random movements but organized steps
the Universe shimmers like a diva,
caped with luminescent wings,
as, unexcelled,
she soars through the spotlight brilliance
of her own production.

She is the stars 
and lights the stage
yet provides a level of mystery
and noir matter to her performance
that manages to bemuse her reviewers.

Eluding description, much less review,
her choreography, based on 
simple laws of gravitation,
achieves complexity with spin and grouping.
As patterns emerge 
in this cosmic kaleidoscope,
the already spectacular e x p  a   n     d        s
with impossible speed 
into the unknowable infinite.

Ensembles troupe across the stage of space.
Whole galaxies dance and merge in embrace.
