Harvest of Stars

Harvest of Stars

Look up!
Sparkling autumn stars above swirl in the Milky Way
Glittering umber, gold and fire of astral leaves
Streak through star dust of light years
Twirling in the gradual autumnal transition sway
Under falling aster stars born of spring lion’s light
Missing now the summer song of swan and lyre
New the frosty Sculptor to crisp nights.

Look up!
From galaxy fields fiery stellar artistry gathers fruit -
Silhouettes with cosmic bits like crystal dew -
Ripening in celestial orchards, the southern autumn’s hiatus,
Gleaned in abundant harvests of astral constellations
Ride twinkling Pegasus across the Centauri season
When Soul and Heart nebula nosegays seed the hunter’s stars
Where silence echoes ebony implosions.

Old Light Old Dust

L Light is old, some 10 billion years late
I I see light that started coming from distant stars, late
G God is so careful to provide for us; our Sun does more than others: less late
H HIStory may be about the past; So too with LIGHT: needs debris, is LATE
T Take Alpha Centauri, 1% of our STAR. Near & far: 25trillion miles, or 4 LY late?

Dedication: To the LIGHT of Carmelo Ricci. I had him and P.S. member, Lisa Ricci, in prayer as i wrote this: we are all ancient light and (star)DUST in God's SPACE.

Autumn Stars

Autumn Stars

Autumn stars mature in the swirling Milky Way, 
Umber, gold and fire of astral leaves
Twirling in the gradual autumnal transition sway
Under falling aster stars born of grace
Missing now the summer song of swan and lyre lays - 
New the frosty Sculptor to crisp nights.

Stellar autumn artistry gathers fruits from galaxy fields
Then rides on Pegasus across the Centauri season
Abundant harvest of astral constellations gleaned yields 
Ripening in celestial orchards of southern autumn’s hiatus -
Soul and Heart nebula bouquets seed Orion revealed.

Reflection From Alpha Centauri

I lost my religion on a clear night in June 
From Alpha Centauri I gazed at Earth’s 
                          mere microbic 
                            inhabitants; 
 
Insignificant in the celestial grand scheme 
Lusting for meaning; questioning why so 
Assuming we are so much greater than 
All of the other creatures sharing this planet. 

        moot nonsensical blathering, 
        Do we, indeed, think too highly? 

                          suspect we do 
                            perhaps ought not.

Constellation Prize

The muse time travelers fatefully freewill say,
this love of ours was written long ago in the stars
But presently, my earthling feelings
is Venus empty
Got no romantic future happening ...
on another orbital losing spin
Just a tinfoil head man 
listening to the upper UV wave band
Alpha Centauri hoping for a constellation prize

Then out of the delta quadrant, 
I heard a string of “pings”
A supernova force, binary stellar voice — 
Projecting a holographic image of a robot face,
it was mechanically screaming wildly at me:

Danger, Will Robinson!
Your heart is gonna get lost in her space,
and there ain’t no outer limit to this pulsar pleasure place

The cosmic choice given
was a “Love Theory of Relativity”
Grab hold of the quantum bond
and let the cold fusion burn nebular deep

That’s how it time continuum is
when you meet the Orion woman of your galactic dreams
Constellation prize instantly arrives
on a solar wind flight “faster-than-light” transporter beam 

Danger ... passion overload, Will Robinson!
Your heart is gonna blow pure crystal dilithium,
and there ain't a single symbiotic soul to repair the hole

Catch a Ride On a Comet

Catch a ride on the tail of a comet
   Breakneck speed: Hold on to your bonnet!

Dodge bits and pieces of space-debris
   Obstacle course on the celestial sea

See the planets as they orbit the sun
   Venus, Mars, Jupiter -- watch Mercury run

View constellations like Antares and Polaris
   Swoop past Alpha Centauri, Andromeda and Sirius

Wouldn't it be marvelous to actually do this?
   To fly 'round the heavens -- ecstasy's bliss

Alpha Centauri

Have put away my sleigh, snow's all disappeared
We all react differently, some cheer, some jeer
I'm in the “former” category
From distant Alpha Centauri
4.37 light-years from us, that's definitely not near!

Gazing Galaxies

A dance divine with a celestial convivial chime
Gazing galaxies upon a midnight summer's breeze
Wormholes waking as the nesting nebulae are baking
Star cluster smiles twinkling traverse the many miles

Alpha Centauri within gravitational galactic glory
Cosmological constellations need no explanations
Blusterous Black holes sucking in symmetrical souls
Thru the Multi-verse all shall divide and disperse.

The Nearest Exoplanet

The search goes on
to discover at last
that we are not alone..
Yet others wait
for the discovery
that we are alone..
Alone in knowing
that Awareness knows 
itself Alone
and that we
and this exoplanet
color our Awareness
as we remain Alone...


Closest Exoplanet To Earth -- August 2016
On Aug 24 2016, the European Southern Observatory announced the confirmation of the closest exoplanet to Earth. This illustration shows Proxima b, which orbits its parent star Proxima Centauri, the closest sun to Earth's sun. Proxima b lies within its sun's habitable zone, strongly suggesting the planet has liquid water on its surface.

Cyber-Space Cadet

How could I forget
My net-setting
Cyber-space cadet

She’s not really sure 
What planet she’s on
A cyberian tour

From Beetlejuice
Via Alpha Centauri 
She’s hanging loose

Lee onto reality 
Milking motion out of
Inter-galactic gravity

The Space Cadet vortex
Sucks me in to
Her cerebral cortex

Spins me outside
My comfort zone
Nowhere to hide

My face book page
Hacked in an attack
Of jealous rage

By an ex-cadet
Now lieutenant
I’ll never forget

Any of my 
Net-setting
Cyber-Space Cadets!

Opposite Complexity

The theory of opposite complexity:
So he came into existence.
THE END

No, it's the beginning,
but all the same.

A part of my living soul
...sub-conscious matter...
We have never been separated

Insane hindsight bias
Psycho! Freak!
Fire, painstakingly profound
M I S I N T E R P R E T A T I O N S
Sanity is not statistical.
Expansive probability,
Random probability? No.
Trapped into his eyes; these huge black holed eyes.
Tripped into a parallel universe; this infinite universe
Welcome to Alpha Centauri?
Yes. Alpha Centauri welcomes me to the afterlife...
I am showered in rose petals.
To find him only in death--
I'd die for the opposite complex
Black holed eyes
Dive into them with fiery desire and lust

While quickly disappearing--
Vanished. Nothing.

THE BEGINNING

No, it's the end.
But all the same.

Tears of a Star

Tonight I am the loneliest star in the sky,
As the whole universe can not hear me cry--
Even though I am in the center for all to view,
I am too far to shine in this infinite blue.
Hidden by the sun and the moon at night,
all the astrologers would forget my light--
It seems I still do not have my own name--
to a --star gazer-- we're all just one in the same.

The coldness of space does not compare though,
if only the earth would know of my glow--
from above I can see billions of smiling faces,
even the most remote and mysterious of places.

No one will ever know of what I am worth,
I might as well burn out and fall to the earth--
they know of Alpha Centauri and the great polaris,
while they are remembered it is me they embarrass.
I wonder how long it will take to be found,
if only I were blue and somewhat more round--

For now I will wait until their eyes are on me,
until then I am no more than sand in the sea.
