~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
