#22 - The Skies on Fire

Some of the most beautiful things we see in the sky at night are actually hugely destructive events flooding through our universe across millions of year.  We look back in time to see the most incredible happenings.

Catastrophic collisions of celestial bodies, 

Flows of light and life. 

Illustrious spheres. 

Shimmer on new stars

Shining bright.

#19 - Infinitely Powerful

Another astronomy-inspired poem, a literal interpretation of light years - where you effectively look further back in time the further away you look...

Time and space bending like a blur of beautiful confusion. 

Long dead star still taking life. 

It reaches for us. 

We stand strong, far away.

#18 - The Gravity of Attraction

Was watching a fantastic programme on astronomy and the incredible imagery it painted with the stars blew me away.  This was the first in a short series of micropoems inspired by this...

Two suns, 

In space, 

Travel a million miles a day. 

Defy the odds and collide together, 

With an attraction too strong to get away.
