Ode to Stochasticity

Big Bang Bursting
From nothing to reality
All is all and all is nothing
Coalescence of matter
Into stars, then BANG
Supernova, Dust to dust
Dust of stars
Dust of Angels
In me. In you. From God, we came
And to Him as dust, we must return
Beginning and End are both the same
And as we end, We now restart

Speck of Night

Upon the dying of the light
As darkness wins the fight
Sparks converge, twist and collide
The matter of emptiness now aligned
Forming a whole new star
So close yet so far
Not but a Speck in that February Sky
Watch it stay and wave goodbye
For the morning's come
And the star's job is done.

I like Speck of Night. It's far more optimistic than my poem.

Thank you. It was in response to Ode to Stochasticity.

I do enjoy the idea of stars, and the universe.

Excellent! I enjoyed this one very much Sean. I've done a lot of work in space science over the years and this poem pretty much sums it up many of my own thoughts but in a far more eloquent manner.

@todwyer01, I liked Speck Of Night as well [:- )

Thank's DATo, I've been fascinated by physics and space science since childhood. My son Colm, is a doctor of astrophysics and lectures in UCD. We agree to differ during most of our debates. http://www.ucd.ie/physics/staff/academics/

Mr. DATo
Thank you. I appreciate positive feedback. So what kind of "space science" have you worked on?
