colliding galaxies

by omegapaf

not all galaxies are moving apart
some dance round one another in a work of art
lots of stars live in a family
like leaves on a tree
blowing in inter steller wind....wild and free

the planets are their children. bathing in their light
some drift away. some hold gravity close and tight.

" we are star stuff...contemplating star light " - carl sagan.

G'day Paul...
Stargazing gives the impression that stars/planets appear so close together - like...I'll nick over the next galaxy and grab a bottle of milk.
Thank you Paul

    g'day lindsay.
    to quote douglas adams novel " the hitchikers guide to the galaxy ", " you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist....but that's just peanuts to space " ha ha.
    you can get a bottle of milk from the milky way galaxy - paul and star hound.

      yes, a bit better. Thanks!
      your poem is profound... got it after careful reads.. Smile
      can't let go of gravity...or maybe, it's holding on to me.
      a nut, amazed by your galaxy,
      ali.

    have you ever seen those pictures from NASA of colliding galaxies?...like a ballet of stars....90% of the universe is missing....most astronomers think it's einsteins fault, but i'm sure jessica stole it ha ha - pauly and star stealer.

beautiful analogy paul - groups of stars can certainly be viewed as families. I love your line about the planets are their childing, bathing in their light. Really beautiful writing, my friend.

    thanks sandy.
    some stars cannot live without each other in binary and trinary star systems...some become black holes and destroy their family. but it's black holes that hold galaxies together...yes, that was actually about humans and nothing to do with stars - love and peace - paul.

what a wonderfully imaginative and creative write! I especially love the last two lines. what fun to think of the planets as the children of the galaxies.

    there are thousands of little planets beyond pluto that the sun has never warmed...an astronomer once described them as " stellar orphans " - orphan paul and the shiny hound.
