the sun spins compositions
the way stars shout
across vacuum–
electromagnetic spectra
that resonate under matter
we vibrate to
like struck tuning forks
but it is our substance
the metal in our bones
quiet bells sounding–
the earth sighs, too
& i have heard her voice
the lit chords
of borealis & australis
plucking subatomic strings
stretched taut
suggesting what does hold us
is not that mass to mass pull
of orbit, but a resonance
of matched scales past gravity
& into music

Our passion does move us….
It certainly does.
I am amazed by your creativity …. awesome yet again !!!
Oh, gosh–thanks. I did some reading about our aurorae last night, and ended up here tonight…
Hi Susan, lovely and thought provoking as usual. I’d think about whether you need the line “suggesting maybe” at all. It adds a sudden note of hesitation to a series of pretty confident assertions and kind of slows the momentum into a really stunning final verse and line. But maybe that’s just my reading, or maybe that’s something you want.
THanks so much, Paul–removed the “maybe” as it does weaken & trip one up as he/she reads it. Thanks much for the input!
Hi Sue, I’m with Paul. A strong, wide poem that wavers on the maybe. ‘Suggesting what holds us…’ as a line gives you 4 lines per stanza and removes the stutter.
Lovely stuff though – the whole of creation as a single struck note, matter as the artefacts of this vibration… cosmic!
Thanks so much…this is precisely why I love blogging poetry–the exchange of ideas and the improvements that can be made–so thanking you both!
I really loved this!
Thanks, Danny!
Ommmm…Ommmm…Ommmm I feel better already. You’ve discovered the secret of life, Susan! Leo
🙂 Chanting along with you! We have to hold the pillars of the earth up.
music of the spheres. Nicely done Susan.
Thanks, Terry!
The physics of bonding, the rhythms of attraction, the harmonics….all captured here, teasingly,
Ah, you always see the tease in my science, and catch it so well.
Susan, you are just amazing.
Georgia–thank you so much!
Fun stuff, and the wonders to be found here dwarf imaginations.
🙂 thanks, Nelle.
