Space

Space 

No beginning - no end
No sunrise - no sunsets
No edges to curl back or peek behind
Light living in darkness
Tumultuous fire –cinders of ice
Thunder and silence
Volatile and stoic
Unfathomable depths – reachable stars
Empty – star-spangled
Orbits - oblivion
Planets - astral plains
Stellar nebulas – streaking comets
Constellations – red dwarfs
Airless - atmospheres
Seen - eclipsed
Nature’s laws enforced – black hole rebellions
Blue marble of life - stillborn moonstones
Corruptible – not unchanging	
Mysteries – mystical
Calendar of time - journal of the eternal
No beginning and no end

Jennifer Proxenos January 15, 2021 at 8:08 AM You certainly explain Space as I imagine - no beginning and no end - just unfathomable dark and deep spaces - holes and debris. A magical mysterious space with eternal galaxies, waiting to find us and us find them! Good luck certainly a winner. Hugs Sam, and blessings.

John Watt January 12, 2021 at 9:34 PM Lovely musings, not only about space but about the nature of infinity. Enjoyed your first and last lines as bookends. My favorite line is 'Calendar of time - journal of the eternal' for both sound and substance. Just tonight at the dinner table we were talking with our son about Space, Halley's comet in particular. He is an aerospace engineering student and plans to send things into space someday. Isn't it wonderful when our kids become smart enough to teach their parents things? ~ John
