Human Universe


12:29 5 November 2009 Thurs.
M: Nervous
P: Kitchen

small, out from one world
shy of independence, outcries
white-page innocence, hunger
a marble in the milky way

sun eyes, warm and bright
parental heliocentrism
object permanence, little hands
reaching earth to nourish

light years into growth
fear, self-identity, night
needing to find stars, heal scars
moon dying but never dead

wide, long, heavy, vast
open space, loosing gravity
an astronaut in one's mind
human universe

galaxy collisions, supernovas
struggles, time and energy
through eyes of hubble telescope observations
law inconstant, we are matter

atom to atom, we connect
through dark energy named love
dense, perhaps massive
never homogenous, isotropic perchance

scattered planets, wishes and dreams
black hole inevitables
frequency lost, asymmetrical life
existence due at expiration cost

infinitesimal, a molecule
dying breed, antique world
fossil in foreign beings
sound sure, human universe

13:17  

Author notes

According to one source:
"the Universe is defined as everything that exists, has existed, and will exist."

Every person is a world, a Universe... with its own laws, own matter. That's the idea behind my poem.

Bonne chance to all contestants,
Kristy

    This is an intelligent and well-written piece, Kristy. There is a veritable feast of words and images strewn throughout this poem. True, it's not often one finds science and poetry blended so seamlessly, but it should be more often, I think. Thank you for entering my contest, Sweetie. Good luck.

      Thank you ever so much, I do appreciate those kind words friend. I really tried writing a well-thought, well-penned poem based on how we truly are universally parallel. You are too kind and I hope it was worth the read

      With gratitude,
      Kristy

    Wow, you used some awesome words in this. How often do you see 'heliocentrism', 'isotropic' and 'infinitesimal' in the same poem? This is seriously smart stuff. You also blended together some magnificent expressions, such as:

    'moon dying but never dead'

    'hubble telescope observations'

    'black hole inevitables'

    'antique world'

    Keep the excellence flowing!

    • Thanks Phil, I appreciate the read and compliments. I hope it made sense, though LOL You are an awesome fan, truly
