Nebula

Nebula

Remnants of ancient red giants,
Sparks from young supernovas,
Wakes of celestial voyagers-
Stardust, long adrift in nothingness
Desperately seeking community
Warp across space by unseen forces
Restlessly gathering at a galactic horizon.
 
A playground for gravity-
Irresistible attractions,
Collisions upon collisions,
Innumerable nucleic explosions,
Countless unseen implosions,
A raging cauldron of entropy
Threatening to rip itself apart.
 
And yet it is an aspiring whole,
An undiscovered singularity.
Soon there will be a stable warmth,
There will be a unique radiance,
A peerless stellar energy.
Soon,
There will be Light!

There are very interesting parallels between the development of a luminous human personality and the birth of a star.

Hello Sambit...

WOW!

The comparison of the parallels between the development of a luminous human personality and the birth of a star.

Sounds like the life workings of a special child to adulthood to becoming the grand finale...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

This is very sweet and generous of you Sparrow; sincerely appreciated. :-)

The parallel I most wish to convey is, just like a star's born in raging fires, a luminous human persona emerges having withstood the toughest of circumstances.

A playground for gravity-
Irresistible attractions,
Collisions upon collisions,

In one of Conan Doyle's shorter stories (the precise one escapes me at the moment), Sherlock Holmes likens the vast population of London to a collection of atoms each jostling and resonating with the others.
Your cosmic imagery here and the deliberate parallels underneath reminded me of that...for some reason.

Insightful, thought-provoking and written with your usual charm and energy.

J ;)
