THE COSMOS

I close my hand and manhandle the universe
shift and move galaxies into formidable frenzies
of light mutating matter to new forms of life

new stars to birth, the comets will surf,
gases dispersed to quench a thirst universal
I, the metaphysical of the verse

solar welts, stretched asteroid belts,
suns with spiritual forms are knowingly felt
stars will melt...

the cards of life when dealt
I have knelt in awe in the presence
of Celestial birth's, a curse
to witness through my eyes on Earth
immersed...
in all it's glory

Must be something in the early morning air.... this is fantastic stuff, that first stanza is killer, immersion in a godhead nebula of poetry. Dig this.

This is a great write. One of my favorite pastimes is studying the night sky and this is a beautiful ode to stargazing. Manhandle the universe. xx

A clearing mind makes haste of the things that most cant or will not explain to themselves, well done, good read.

Stay up till 3 in the morning writing more often, haha xD Not like your writing is better at a specific time, it's always good, but yeah
This was so cool sounding, I couldn't get this beautiful mental image out of my head, and relating it to "the cards of life" ....brilliance!

when you look up at a night sky, you know for sure you're not alone and words speak for themselves ..

Rene, after reading this I am running out to purchase a telescope. I do believe that you took over the universe with yours......wonderfully written!
