Spinning in Slipstream Galaxies
Within froth whirls of Akasha,
when the fabulous nebulae
blink for an eternity, a vortex
twin loops in amber flow.
Here the weight of souls
is breathed east of star rise
and the eye of the Void wells
up in an abundance of tides.
Find me in upper Samudra,
shed of Kālī’s mercy, my joy
spinning in slipstream galaxies
at the edge of expanding time.
Sinking torrents of dust glow
will pull you under — the Rigvedic
ships have long passed, Beloved.
In this moment, swim with me…

A tale worthy of heinlein hinted at - of worlds different but contemporaneous of ours
Though the golden age has passed - sell we can swim together
Flows and feels - very pleasurable read

Thank you for the hat tip towards Heinlein... Different but parallel, I think. I'm so pleased you liked it, whale, thank you.

Ah, Mike, there's a part of me thinking there's a challenge I have to conquer... perhaps I was too obtuse.
Many thanks for your words.

Feddeler, so happy to see that. I managed to avoid the words 'black' and 'sea' and yet you saw it... Now I'm satisfied...
Thank you for the luxurious comments.

adventure filled with romance, intrigue, action n
far out fantastical visions of the universe! in layman's terms
this was outta this world! :)

I felt a bit queazy at the sight of amber flow, but I pushed on...
Another beautiful write inspired by the stars and the challenge to sink or swim in weightlessness. Awesome imagery, Atakti!!

Ahhhh, could KILL you for that association on amber! haha
Seriously, was struggling there for a word to denote a warm feeling... never mind, I'll shut up...
Thanks so much for the comments and list add, Case.

Thank you Cesar, for the 'art' comment. I'm happy to think my work managed to stimulate a reader's thoughts...

i can not swim as you've lifted me expansively floating in the synchronic pools, light reflecting from the surface, from the wonder and romantic background radiation of modern scientific glyphs and the ground of all being seeing eye sanskrit deep space roots of our earliest word expressed prayers of spirit...

That's it, exactly...
Number one comment, of the week at least, serious contender for month! Thanks, Sem.
