Stelliferous the stars o’erspread
that lace the heavens overhead
and sparkle plentifully bright
to grace the atramental night
when face of lumined sol has fled.
Sidereals the skies embed
bejeweling where dreamers tread
to render poets’ fancies quite
stelliferous.
With wonderment the welkin’s wed
to linger long in starry bed
‘midst tapestries all strands unite
of infinite supernal light
e’er woven with celestial thread
stelliferous.
~ Harley White

Rushing forward,
pushing back
Light entrances,
then attacks
Preying darkness,
shadows hide
Lumined future

A cosmic web that worlds unite
in outer space has come to light.
Astronomers will have their say
about this bridge so far away,
uncovered through antennal might.
My fancies take poetic flight
in great beyond’s unfathomed height
to thus envisage holding sway
a cosmic web.
Mankind sleeps on within the night
of dark delusion’s blinding plight,
though all seems fused in vast ballet
where human dance comes into play…
When will we see with lumined sight
a cosmic web?

Inspiration for this rondeau came from image and astronomy article ~ Cosmic bridge of radio waves provides first evidence of magnetic fields between galaxy clusters… Image ~ A bridge of radio-emitting plasma connects two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web.

A Winter’s night observed by: Steven Hudson
Tranquility mounts in the silence of the moment,
Snow glistens from the branches of a full moonlight
Contrasting darkness’s shadowy backdrop,
A gentle calm breeze permeates the air,
Stillness, listening, as this wonderland envelops you
For a season an instant another land transports you
Apparent breath exhaled, a machine fearfully and wonderfully made
In wilderness, frozen and wild that is fearfully and wonderfully made
Green boughs heavy in blankets of snowy white
Black branches barren and void, form lines, into the starry night
Crystals flutter, sparkle and swirl on lumined plains spread out beneath,
On A winter’s night observed, a winter’s night of peace.
