Stars,planets, space, infinite expanse. Is it just old light? Is it just ice, rocks and dust? Is life all encompassing? Is coalescence a must? Writing a verse about the universe. Is matter the chorus written within the song of infinity? Does gravity flow and ebb like the tide? Does time writhe and struggle like the dying beast? Will the void consume as does a king at his feast? What is it that planets discuss? "What is really at your core?" "Do you know your own state?" "Be it solid, liquid, gas or plasma?" "Perhaps do you contain condensate?" Collapsing, contracting, imploding, eroding. Was it all just a sneeze of creation by some omnipotent presence? What does it all mean? Where is the essence?
