The Spilling of Orion’s Last Great Secret
Look beyond the lark,
toward
those dark foreboding
angry skies ..
There, upon the brow
where crazy,
ancient undulations
hide from view
a flimsy silvered scarf ..
More amorphous
than mercury ever was ..
Yet know this,
her majesty resides
there still,
reclined across the nape
and back of
our lord, Orion’s nebula ..

Star gazing in the heavens looking for Orion’s Belt. Her Majesty must be a very close neighbour. I reckon a dazzler of a star. . Can you see it without a telescope? What’s the secret Neville? Just asking as a star gazer myself:) Happy Tuesday.
Not without a telescope, but I do have one - Bellatrix is the secret .. Happy Tuesday Cassie
You poor buggers in the northern hemisphere have no idea. To look , away from city and other distracting earth-bound light at the ‘milky way’ – the galaxy to which our sun and hence we are bound, from our viewpoint south is on its own both a humbling and wonderful experience.
And that is just a small part of our galaxy, never mind the billions of others in our own universe. And……….
Thanks Neville.
I've already got sky envy mate, don't rub it in .. and .... thank you Dave .. 😎👍
"To whom will you compare me?
or who is my equal?" Say the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls them all by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
I'll take that as a possible yes, but if I do happen to be wrong and I don't mind admitting that I was once .. I think it was around 1972 or 3 then please forgive me and turn the other cheek ..
Blessed be they who cast their gaze into the star filled skies wondering of all the unanswered questions. Awesome poem N. 😊👍
