War and the Universe
and when you look up and
watch the carmine sunset riding the clouds,
know that those are the blood
of the universes that fought so valiantly
to have our constellations vibrant and incandescent
in their boundless mausoleums.

Loved the imagery in this poem!
Life experiences, mostly. Dreams, wishes, hopes.

Hello,
I am wondering what inspires you to write your pieces?
Your words are kind, Ray. You have no idea how much these praises mean to someone just starting to fall in love with poetry.

A succinct idea that spreads into the subconscious mind and swells into images - a sense of primeval rightness for me. Please more in this vein!

yes - with a few Greek Gods waving from the stars maybe - lots to be found within these six lines Tristan - the universe explored.
