I have been a busy little poetesses, compiling a new poetry book. Doing my best to Domesticate the Heavens with work, metaphor, and verse. Most of the poems were composed during the last 5 years and focus on love, romantic love, and enlightenment, stay away from the elephant in the room. We have been so divided and set again one another. My wish going forward is a united human race, one bound by love, the desire to understand multiple perspective. I will do my best to do my bit, meditate and try to understand more, be more understanding. Pursue enlightenment like my very being depends on it. It does.
What is more enlightening the cosmos above us. The Circumference Dissected by the Diameter did not make the final cut, as it stood when I first released it, which now must be several years ago. Domesticate the Heavens was getting unwieldy, and I wanted to keep it as a homage to affection and wonder.Circumference as it originally stood, I found a little harsh. Snip, snip, snip, It was removed. I mean are mathematical metaphors romantic. Maybe not so much. At least not to most of us. What follows is the eponymous verse of Domesticate the Heavens.
If you are curious about the nebula-looking flashes across my face. The photos were taken from my backyard. No, not actual star nurseries, but one amazing aurora borealis show. The sky at the moment is cloudy and frosty, but I do look forward to our next instalment of northern lights. I don't want to exhaust my current stash of pics of the last collision of solar flares and a magnetic atmosphere. A symphony of color and movement is created. It is almost as though it were planned, this meeting of opposites, or is it complementary forces. The universe gave us such beauty to keep us company on a dark night when there is nothing good on Netflix. Who needs Tinder when there is dualistic, split entities craving so to be whole again.

The aurora phenomena is a marvelous one and so is your poem. I have never seen one of these in real life but they sure do look beautiful. It's true, the only way humanity can survive is if they stay strong and united. Divisions and conflict will only hasten the end of the human species. Thanks for writing and have a great day.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Have a fantastic day:)
Off topic, but wanted to ask you what you thought about RFK being nominated for HHS Head. I’m pretty pumped about it.
Thrilled, of course. But pharma is going nuts trying to stop it.
