Space Exploration

Grand Central, New York
Standing on the platform I look around, and find
...

Born again in stellar wombs
Each atom has a history of its own
With its bonding in molecules
Configured and arranged in honeycomb
...

Pendulum’s swinging periodic modes,
Chaotic spells too, short or long,
Link unfamiliar psy-states -
Baffled, rattled I walk along,
...

Wrinkles line her face
She looks pretty old, much beyond her age
having lost much of her vitality.
Her diseased decadent body struggles to support

Hiking along the Appalachian Trail
Overlooking the Hudson at a distance
Mountain ranges all along the valley
Witness the river embrace the ocean.

Torn apart -
Myriad shattering bifurcations
And multiple reflections –
Each reflecting the cosmos –
...

Atoms of my body
and yours too
Cooked in stellar kitchens
at ten million degree
...

Planet Earth – Not the centre
Of the universe
The sun - provider of energy, cause of all life
An insignificant entity in stellar comity
...

An embodiment of nature's action plan,
a solo performer in the playhouse
performing in one of the concluding episodes,
he is now in a denial mode,
...
