Dark Matter Ignites Poem by Jen Van Houten

I lay in a pool of the universe. The cosmos dance around me in a stellar formation.

In what seems to be eternal darkness, complete silence, and total loneliness.
There are peeks of light, music in the nebulas, and moons to keep you company.

Galaxies welcome you a home. A place to stay on a planet orbiting in its center.
With a warm sun to keep a smile on your face, and constellations that tell you a story.

Shooting stars in an infinite flight, wanting to reach its destination without looking back.

Climbing the dust pillars to get a view of a black hole sucking in old life, to then see the rebirth of anew.

Gliding on the auroras leaving the darkness behind me.
Flying into a radiant supernova that is now me. A bright shining star for everyone to see.
