The trouble with writing about space, is knowing where to begin
Because space extends not just far out there, but also deep within
The microcosmic world... what is its structure, an atom?
And if I had the right tools could I break up its pattern?
Could I travel ever smaller to infinity and beyond?
Is there a basic building block, an undivisable bond?
A brick wall of matter on which all else rests?
From the micro to the macro cosmic systems in nests?
Because space extends not just far out there, but also deep within
It exists inside my psyche as well as well outside me
But I don't need to move to traverse the universe in no time
I can accomplish this feat simply in my mind!

the inverse universe
this caught my eye just by looking at the title and the first sentence(The trouble with writing about space, is knowing where to begin
Because space extends not just out there, but also within) makes me inspired because it really is hard to fit all of the intresting bitis about space in and i also love where you said(Could I travel ever smaller to infinity and beyond?
Is there a basic building block, an undivisable bond?) this really made me think how can someone travel infinity because there might be a end and if not then im really confuzed lol
this line is also very sreong (don't even need to move to traverse the universe in no time
I can accomplish this feat with the power of my mind!) well thought of imagine not moving going throw time in the context of space.
and when you said(The Solar System, galaxies, the universe - All become One) so do you mean one and you get more detalied on on on and on.anyway this is real goodwell done and good luck in the contest

Viewpoints on Space
After writing my other entry I threw this one together quite quickly and I am sure that it doesn't quite flow or make sense but I wanted to share these ideas with the contest. That the universe goes inwards to the microcosm as well as outwards into space and also that we humans can create a universe in our minds, as Bill Hicks once said "we are as if the universe wanted to experience itself subjectively!" Cheers.
