Exuberance

Exuberance

Space Series Poetry #7

As if in a dream-like state I fall

Billowing gas clouds emerge and enthrall

Sweet slumber eludes me, hides beyond sight

For here there's no notion of day or of night

Energy surges, it crackles and burns

Sparks of potential release as I turn

The cosmos and I are at one in this place

A living embodiment of time and of space

Gone are the shadows, gone is the doom

Transparent and light-filled, I banish all gloom

Exuberance bubbles and fizzes with joy

Stars scatter the heavens, reflecting my ploy

A dance of abandon, a wildness within

A swirling surrender as the universe spins

Arms stretching, triumphant, leg raised I create

A sense of eternity, a living lemniscate
