Season's Greetings From Nebula Veil Poem by Harley White

A stardust veil in resplendent detail
is with multicolors imbued
from astral blast leaving Cygnus aghast
in the stunning spectacle viewed.

Supernova boom made stellar winds zoom
into beauteous wispy guise
as swan song story, whose gorgeous glory
its violent dawning belies.

This picturesque cloud of filament shroud
concealing a cavity wall
interacts and behaves through shocking waves
like a vast repercussive sprawl.

The varied tones in the nebula's zones
come from chemic denseness changes;
plus hotter are blue, while green or red hue
indicates the cooler ranges.

That huge display many light-years away,
two thousand one hundred in fact,
covers six full moons of skyey festoons
with its striking unveiling act.

In rainbowlike stream from the Hubble team
which shows but a part of the whole,
what was once a star exploding afar
is cast in sensational role.

Some gassy fumes were emitted in plumes
before its chromatic demise
of curtain splendid until it ended
with mosaic to mesmerize.

When skyward we peer, the boundaries we're
accustomed to fade out of sight
and somehow all feel connected for real
with a sense the world could unite.

The holiday season gives a reason
for gatherings brimming with cheer,
where the atmosphere teems with hopes and dreams
plus wishes of Happy New Year!
