The Space Between Stars

The space between stars is not empty. The plane of existence is not a desolate void, and not a place that is devoid of substance that was long ago destroyed. The space between stars is not just filled with dark energy that we never see stretching and pulling a galaxy across time and space with cosmic lethargy, taking light years and light centuries in extraterrestrial reverie. The space between stars is not merely gas and dust in clouds of galactic cirrus accelerating in a universe cold, dark, dank and averse. The space between stars is filled with thoughts and dreams of all those who came before, all sentient beings from heretofore and the memories of all whom we adore.

The last part of your poem got really poetic. I'd like to see you expound more on that. Anyway, nicely done. Looks like you had to research a bit too. I had no idea how to write this poem until I googled info on it!!

Thanks, Andrea. I did do some research and the poem has gotten a lot of views, but it wasn’t enough to get a placement. Oh, well. :-(
