boom
went a star
reaching past history, far
recorded by time
commanded to find
a signal, or a reason, from afar.

Titan bellows
a timeless threat
to a distant horizon
that never will set.

Titan gambles
its emotional debt
on difficult odds
an even money, sure bet.

Radio wakenings
Of a ghostly nature
Survive by cloaking
Through a particle wafer.

Fractured pulse visions
From a measured starscape try
Is a remarkably smart decision
A curiosity, not denied.

Fractured light lessons
From the depths of the deep sky
A significant exo-progression
In the eternal search, for why.

A ringlet
bears it’s faint streamers
and asks why,
do I hide?

It asks a question
to its orbit
of why, in fact,
am I alive?

And contemplates
questions and details of
why, indeed,
do I survive?

Feel the silence
in your head
hear the whisper
that hasn’t been
said.

Hear the voices
that you dread
from the silence
of the
dead.

With a frequency of F
all matter is deaf
to the trial of humanity
and the scaring of our sanity
and to where our souls, are exposed
to stellar theft.

With an angular frequency of C
a wavelength ceases to be seen
in a physics that won’t yield
to the realities of what’s real
and to where newness, never ceases
to be.

Supermassive swallows
Of an energy admission
An intra-massive intrusion
By a silent x-ray mission.

Gravitational swallows
Of a neutered jets emission
Is an intra-energy action
By a silent x-ray decision.

I see in pain
no relative gain.

I see in fate
nothing but hate.

I see in strife
nothing but life.

I see in hope
a secret old joke.

I see in the now
the answer to how.

Instead of a guess
we now have a window
a soft spoken, awakening
into the shadow of knowledge
and the birth of hope.

Did you ever
think that God
would abandon
it’s own destiny?
