Notes About The Poem

Space Between Stars Poetry Contest

Third Place

"The Space Between Stars Is Not Empty"

Space Between Stars

subtlest we are  ~stuff of star
creation of the elements that spawn 
densest is the space
between beginningless origins 
and endless blurs 
thus, cosmogony visible 
vehement impassions
blends the invisible 
spreading hues of mahogany,
redshifts dust
 
stripped of mind, 

blurred...

manifested into existence 
two worlds collide,
rich in lust

Duke Beaufort November 19, 2024 at 4:26 AM Anaya, I don't know how I missed seeing all this work of yours. You are indeed a cosmologist and poet. It's all difficult to fathom, but I think your theory of the universe makes more sense than any scientist's. Smiles! I Am Anaya November 28, 2024 at 1:03 PM Ty, Duke! You're too kind, my lovely freind. Smiles back:):)

Crystol Woods November 8, 2024 at 10:09 AM It's a riddle, a word puzzle! I love the way your mind works... your intuition and artistic language. I can almost see your words in 3d! Xo I Am Anaya November 8, 2024 at 4:56 PM I'm now looking into it as though a puzzle Crystol and see the fragmentation which fits like a puzzle. Wow, thank you for such a kind comment/compliment. Xhugs ~ Anaya

With free verse one can display it in a way that makes it seem more dramatic. I love that! Ty, Cheers! soupmail

David Kavanagh October 26, 2024 at 8:24 AM A majestically worded poem Anaya, one that makes a lot of metaphorical sense, nobody really knows what caused this universe to come into existence, yet exist it does, and those redshifts are our major yardsticks for measuring the distance between us and the furthest objects in space, beautifully penned piece, cheers David I Am Anaya October 26, 2024 at 12:22 PM Ty, David, I needed the encouragement and your lovely review, so many great entries in this awesome competition, including you! :)

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 25, 2024 at 10:47 AM Dear Anaya, I think you just bridged the chasm between origin and infinity. I like how you illuminate the paradoxical nature of being through imagery and metaphysical contemplation—simultaneously ephemeral and eternal. Good Luck in the Contest for this is unique and fascinating. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel I Am Anaya October 25, 2024 at 5:22 PM I love your comment, Daniel. Your knowledge of the stars, space, and creation is fascinating! Ty
