Matter...known, unknown.
Anti-matter...unknown...
Possible, probable.
Stars new-born.
Stars blooming
Into Red Giants...
Reversing, imploding,
Dragging space/light
To pinpoint origins.
Bodies of Space with
Timespans of life...
We live the same.
And space probes
Needle through
Orbital veins...
Withdrawing data,
Assimilating, disseminating,
Transfusing, assessing
Strata, Methane,
Latent bacteria, Hydrogen in voids.
But genotypes,
Mitochondrial DNA?
A wonderfully crafted poem that articulates how the expanding frontiers of science have flavored our quests to determine who we are.
elysabeth - We are in perfect agreement on the natural expansion of our minds fearlessly into space. See my 'Fear Not' when you get a chance. Thank you for this brave new poetic world! Best - Cheryl
The mysteries of Science and space captured in this wonderful space-odyssey poem, I like it very much.--Melvina--
I had to google your mitochondrial DNA and read the words 'female inheritance' with a smile. This is a splendid poem that appeals to those of a scientific bent as well as those with poetic passion - in equal measure I suspect. Fascinating how the more we learn about universal sources the greater is the mystery of 'us'. I like the short sharp classical style of this piece and the metaphors you add - like salt to a fine meal. I must read it again. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxx
I am here. Please write to me and tell me what happened to this place!
I love the way the last two lines vault over the improbable and mysterious gap between matter and life. I have no idea how that chasm was bridged but am definitely in favor of it.
Hmm, a trip to the linear accelerator and the observatory, without leaving my chair, and via a poem. God on one side and Einstein on the other, in case I get scared. Imagine that!
Have you seen Google Sky yet? Very cool, a fantastic voyage through the organism that is our universe, just like your poem! -chuck
