Always Dreaming

Mother earth, circling the night sky, full of mystery,

intrigue. We came screaming through the bloody canal

of her womb; dead stars rendered into life. 

Cervix expanding, a universe of it’s own, welcoming

sightless, wordless beings; expressions in the future;

voices that will be heard.

Mother earth revealed her oceans, her land masses

holding millions of fallen stars translated into

organisms, each unique, overflowing, connected.

Untold secrets discovered beneath the cosmos.

Now we travel on spaceships back to where we

came, into pitch night sky, starlight shining.

Words, names, poem etched into the nose

of a starship seeking sacred water in the moon

of another planet. Science dreaming, always dreaming.
