A Higher Orbit - A Brighter Light (poem)

Lesser lights created in the night
exploded like novae with ingenious right
soundless waves in being like dreams
pushed ahead with mass clouds of dust landings green

Round orbits coalescing gravity's castings
actors sweeping present futures vast wings
of darkness resisting troubling clumps
tensioned stress in micro gravity
a million yearths formed most aborted
merged down to clash in trash
while the greater local light's morning
hasn't reached first dawn

Within higher orbits striving to be first
to draw unto themselves the mass of all
that would fuse and burn hydrogen tells
centers changed through erratics drifts
prejudicing Hilbert space for new content
when the other star raced through the cloud
drawing blood in its wake

Throwing complexities with collisions of mass
accelerated as hangers on sling shots
with the sun switched on
and light flowing through the clump en mass field
where the million planetary beginnings ended violently
smashed together as improbable mergers
some with life, some without moons
ended without a whimper
terminated without a shout

Where the gates of Eden rest
guarded with four cherubim
dimensions of space-time closed
behind the blessed

Where the sun shined through darkness
photons in a magnetic field
struck chords on optic nerves
warmed

Where each verse was another crumpled sender
of ideas beyond
aggressions stopped not in war on the wrankling
over-warmed world powers
gone too fueled becoming folklore.
