Event Horizon

Over leaves of 
Heaven, this 
Galaxy rises,
Opens her arms
And draws our
Moon, Earth,
This light and
Spark of birth,
Around a star--
This ark, on
Which we are.
We Are.

  2. An ark, indeed.

    Wishing you and Norma and all your family a peaceful and joyous season, Geo. Another trip around the star . . . it's gone rather fast, hasn't it?

  4. Nowadays, when one mentions Galaxy, people immediately think of Samsung's latest smartphone. Technology rather kills poetry, romance, beauty.
    Luckily there are guys like you that don't give up,and keep reminding us of the great elements of the universe and their beauty.

    1. Dear, kind Duta. I believe you've nailed it. I suspect physics is at least as close to poetry as technology, but it's hard to keep that in mind while surrounded by competitive advertising. Thanks for reminding and encouraging me.
