secret cleft of space

the various cultures of the world have different names and concepts in their cultures for this sheath of space

through the cosmic fold of star dust veiled

filtered through starlights' creamy shine

by infrared i see your blues 'n charcoal blacks

of pitch and tar

dark matter slates of abysmal field

uncharted universes' sector unexplored

drawing yawning voids apparent

behind beyond the veils' wraps 

unseen worlds' states of mind

beckon eyes discover, join eternal hum

sing quasars' worship song, one accord myriad tunes

angels' rhapsody creation's mystery stars kept from man

for that special day revealed

this cleft of space, by interstellar's dust defined

irregular margin's rough bordered lines

o'er billions' years of rolling eons' time

produce new worlds, constellations born

to reach across those hidden fields 

in instant's span behold 

on terrestrial planets' spheres on land

life, living things

creatures' consciences move in bodies physical 

upon those plains of varied spectrum's colors

footprints upon those terrains 

man or beast, 

varied earthen things beneath flora's shades strange

horizons' lapping shores of water wet 

reflect colors of those atmospheres moist

as i stand in gazed transfixed in wondered stare

this rarefied means, opportune moment's awe

ponder reflect, grasp attempt,

manifold vision's resolution reflection 

by this human cognitive stimuli infinite

how splendid,

glorious scene

and how now, 

can i return to my own home?
