A Dawning Universe

cosmic musings

Each particle of light brings with it life.

A billion trillion bits of individual power

plants energizing the empty void of space with

a purity of energy that fuels the stars.

 

A wave of effervescence washes over the

cooling universe bathing it  in a sea of protons

and radiation streams. The presence of this thing

called light fills and engulfs the cosmos with

a subdued and self contained luminescence.

 

Oh Light! Oh Bright!

With your gift of sight

We now see the stars this night

Blinded by the dark no more

Our souls restored; leap, soar and roar

From the brightness that we store

 

Evermore! Evermore!

Will we be knock, knock knocking at Your door

For the Light in all its shades

Only dims but never fades

I find this Prose/rhyme style interesting Bob...something I might consider in the future.
I enjoyed this "Ode to the Universe"...what a different perspective you bring to it...hope this light never goes out (at least not in OUR time!

With a nod to Poe...we'll be knock knock knocking at YOUR door, to see what other treasures you have in store!

i'm usually not into the worshipping tone as it tends to go the rah rah route. but this was nice. i could hear it... i felt uplifted.
