Pulsar, Poetry

Pulsar

th (1).jpg

a cosmic beacon
radiating, revolving
electrifying and exciting
           cold and lonely dark matter
holding the blanket
back from the vacuum

existence persists
luminescent beings pulsate
flow through your loose grip
astroplankton set loose
                     to illuminate the depths
for space-besotted argonauts
lost in a dimmer abyss

there is no space without you

keeping time
maintaining creation
missing your own shine
shifting on your axis
to bring light to this dark

guiding giddy planeteers
offering a constant horizon
for those of us
universally inclined
to wander beyond natal orbits

a world contained
in a teaspoon
a master of the gravitational

                     this pull ...

falling though the silver fabric
never tearing a fragile thread
shimmer trails fade to warmth
your fingertips trace ...
a solar path through the stellar

falling is flying with you

***

My musical accompaniment while writing this poem.

You have the best taste in music. It pulls you, but in a good way. I really liked it. Worth a steal for some inspiration.

Your words always leave me coming back, reading again and again. Yes, I know. The conebacj kid, for sure.

Taking you home with me! Have a great weekend!

Thanks so much, Denise. There are so many offers coming my way to join groups. The problem is the time commitment. And I am really starting to feel the yearning to getting behind the camera again. I need to fold some time with my next load of laundry:)

CurationKiwi doesn't take up a of time. You join the group on Discord. Then you post your blogs there with the command "!-u-p-v-o-t-e" (I spelled it out because I don't want to trigger anything weird).

From their SteemIt page:

@CurationKiwi is a bot using @Rishi556's VoteFun code to provide upvotes through our Discord (linked here) for free! All you have to do is join our Discord, go to the room labeled #curationkiwi, and use the command !upvote (post link), and you will receive upvotes.

As of right now, votes are free for everyone. This bot is currently funded by the upvotes we receive from posts, so feel free to leave us an upvote on this post to help support our cause and give us a larger upvote to spend on people.

What's the Curation part of @CurationKiwi mean?

This is where you guys can earn some extra rewards! If you have an upvote value above 0.01, you earn curation rewards for upvoting posts. It's often not much, around 0.001 to 0.002 per post, but it adds up the more you upvote. That's where we come in!

CurationKiwi has a curation trail set up on Steemauto for all to join. The curation trail automatically upvotes whatever posts @CurationKiwi upvotes, so you don't have to go out and look for posts to upvote yourself. You can join our curation trail here and let us do the dirty work of finding posts to upvote, and you can just sit back and receive curation rewards.
