Cosmos

Show me the ways
of the Milky way
aglow in white laughter
cuddling the planets
concentrated thoughts
of thousand sages 
rendered in primal
collision of mind and matter.
Tell me the stories of each star
born in fields of remembrance
only to be picked up by the
wishes of wistful mortals.
Bring me the quasars and meteors
and thousand other thriving entities
so I can hold them in the cusp of my
adolescence.

Will you journey with me in the
deep fabric of space?
Ascend to the stars and 
know their longing?
or why the stars?
why not find other civilizations
and know of their life
their culture and gods.
or journey to the center
of the Universe
and get  sucked into a
Black-hole?
To see the wonders of Time
and its cessation?
Why not contemplate there for eternity
and fathom a whole new Creation
in our dreams?
Or I could wander the stretches
of far- rumored Infinite
like a silent guardian
and wait for the world
to sleep.

I know that the thoughts
that take flight from my mind
dazzle, and vanish into space
but if someone can hear my call
know my infatuations
I plead, the Cosmos
is one big place of wonder
Nor can i loosen Orion's belt
or hold Andromeda in my hand
but in death when I shall be free
from the cage of flesh and bones
I know I can fulfill my desires
hold Andromeda in my hands
and set it free from its bonds
command all the stars
to fall into the coldness
of night, a celestial wonder
like no other, talk to the clouds
and rain down flowers
in the heart of a battlefield
change the nature of
nights and days in sync
with the seasons
So that Winter may not freeze
and Summer is content
align myself with the rainbow
and make its shades
fiercer than the Sun
to wipe off the tears
of gloomy souls
Make every planet
hospitable with
enormous water bodies
and a living aura of green

The holy ghost of space
wandering, dreaming
in the darkness 
and never wanting
to descend into the
tenebruous world beneath.
until I find you my friends
dreaming the same dream
as me, to create an Earth
bereft of grief and sorrow.
