~The Celestial Intelligencer~
projection
through the cosmos
to the inerior
of Jupiter
to feel the lightning
ravaging
the winds of water
encapsulate
in my mind
and out of body
ride the asteroids
the magnets call me
the space between the stars
is the same as the subatomic
each solar system
an organism
building the body of God
from my telescope lens
I can see the end of the universe
to the edge of time itself
a tear rolls down my cheek
an iceberg breaks off the shelf
floating free
between the moons
the second star
is coming soon
the meteors
foretell the storm
reborn
an age ago
an aeon since
the cosmic egg was torn
neither fear death nor life
for balance comes
after the comet strikes
our souls are bound
by gravity
celestial beings
trapped here
but free
