First Light Machine

Intensity,
In scale
Towards a massive,
Blue bolt

Re-structures –
Its primitive,
Radiated,
Revolt.

”O” type >>

 

I must look up into the breach again,
To the wondrous sight in the sky,
And ask that I do understand
Of a star, that now wonders its why.
And the breath of color that sing’s its song
The lengths of its light shaking,
Through the shaded mist of history’s face,
The present, of its dawn, breaking.

Hat Tip – John Masefield, “Sea Fever”

Hidden Infant >>

 

Within my memory
Flashed from birth,
I feel the complexity
Of the vastness –

Both inner and outer,
Intricate and simple,
Chaos coupled to clarity
In a memorized meaning – of the now.

M42 >>

 

Backdrops of color
Alive, and alone
Are the wonders
In nature
Of a thriving,
Unknown.

ARP 188 >>

 

Measured, gross emissions
Combined,
By brute force

Detracts, from a vision
Of a designed,
Streamed source.

SOFIA >>

 

Static, deposits
In thin, layered frames
Fold, into colored
Re-structured,
Dark flames.

Candor Chasma >>

 

Iron red filaments
Flow, amongst fire
Shining their exceptional
Glow –
Of desire.

NGC 6302 >>

 

Measuring, the moments
By marking, its mean
Maps, the components
Of an intangible –
Scene.

Wide Field Camera 3 >>

 

Wing like windows
Carved from
Wolf-Rayet scars –

Blows its
Norse, wind, vision
Into its
Blue, hued, stars.

NGC 2359 >>

 

The vastness of time
Defines halls,
That connect

Restructuring minds
Reflects calls,
To affect.

Lagoon >>
