The Milky Way

More about The Milky Way

Your Vision
of the Stars
of Heaven
Pouring out
of a Magician's Hat
to Glisten Upon
the Strands
of Your Hair
and Tips of Your
Eye Lashes
is a Luxurious
Vision to Behold
Within Ones
Mind's Eye.

Your Invitation
to Gather and Procure
a Lock of Such
to wrap around
a trembling Heart
and body craving
Divine Comfort
and Warmth
is a generous
offering Well
Worth Considering--

Then, Like the Milky Way
Full of Beauty
and Dancing Light,
you further delight
and increase
your offering
your invitation
with a vision
of Pouring
Divine Grace
through parched lips
from a milk pitcher
to enliven and grow
our own
Hearts and Minds
with Divine
Radiance,
generosity
overflowing,
and
glowing.

Come Spring,
you say, you
Bring
Visions of Super Nova's
Endless Groves of
Exploding Pollen
of Life, Laughter,
Colour, Love
ever after
resonating,
strange and beautiful
primeval sounds
that resound
throughout all time
and the cosmos--

Your only regret
being
that we may yet
not gather the courage
to reside beside
the Greatest Creator
whose belly
may rock with laughter
and love then
by our willingness
to join in,
to love, help
give birth,
with mirth
like an abundance
of birds, butterflies,
and Angels, glittering
and sparkling as
emeralds do, Truth
Only Truth
for all
to behold,
to forever
unfold
Truth.

Interesting to note, a quick research about the Milky Way reveals:

It contains billions of stars, gas, and dust, including our Sun. Because we are looking through it from within, it appears as a hazy, milky beautiful band of light across the night sky, Ancient Greek mythology viewed it as a “milky circle or road” from spilled milk and thus a description stuck to it as “Milky Way” (Latin = Via Lactea)

It is know as Our Home Galaxy in Astronomical Terms, the large galaxy where Earth and the Solar System reside. Viewed from above it is a vast spinning pinwheel with spiral arms. Our perspective shows a luminous band of countless distant stars and dust clouds blended together.

Ancient cultures from Greece and Rome told mythological stories such as Hercules's mother's milk spraying across the sky.

Often it symbolizes the soul's journey after death or a connection to the divine.

It is also known as “Birds' Path” for Northern peoples observed that migratory birds followed its course while migrating the Northern Hemisphere.

Meanwhile, Happy New Year to One and All!
