Big questions from @budtheteacher. Tonight I need to answer: How would you describe the universe?
Cartography
It is in your eyes.
Close them and tattooed on the inside lid,
constellations will appear --
Shifting pictures of goddesses and cookware,
bears, balanced scales and a winged horse
beckon you to tell their stories.
Eyes closed; the universe swirls,
speaks in speeding comets
and hurtling metaphors.
Eyes open, I see the reflection
of a thousand moons, and they are pulling
my heart to shore.

Wow! This is a beautiful poem. The word choice and imagery is breathtaking and the sentiment is so real
I appreciate that so much. I am more wary of sharing poetry than other forms of writing. A bit of validation every now and then goes a long way!
I love this, and agree, your imagery is amazing. While reading the poem i could picture each detail with such clarity.
