swirling cosmic dust by tim kavi
juking
swirling nebulas
carry memories they cannot tell
exhorting the ancients
amazing those who look
at every turn
there is a majestic
body every where
in space
balanced like any natural
hegemony, ecosystem precarious
tightrope of existence
stretching as far as
one can see
dropping off the
distant
horizon like a ship
disappearing in a journey
faster than light
traveling to meet you;
yet never reaching the end
in galactic dust
we are too far apart so far
to find each other
seems almost impossible
where are the other
beasts in this vast expanse?
why are they not yet seen?
do they not yet exist?
too young to know
what we see, or how they play,
yet we know we will
someday meet them
and they will be as different
as we are; night and day
will bring it in history's making
if we do not extort or push out
and ignore our explorers' heart
please let us look up
there upon starry nights
and never lose sight
of the gloried living
organism reflected in
billions of star lights.
