Upon the midnight vast, where dreams and darkness cast,
I voyaged through the stars, on a ship that knew no masts.
With sails of spirit’s fire, and a crew of ghostly choir,
I sailed to realms higher, where time itself retires.
In the silence of the spheres, where eternity appears,
I whispered to the void, confessing all my fears.
The cosmos, in reply, with a star-strewn sigh,
Bestowed upon my eye, the truths that never die.
Through the corridors of space, in an endless, ethereal race,
I chased the comet’s lace, and the meteor’s trace.
Past the belts of asteroids, and cosmic noise devoid,
I found a tranquil poise, in the vastness, overjoyed.
Where the nebulae bloom, like roses in the gloom,
I found a cosmic womb, where stars are born and loom.
In the cradle of creation, and the nursery of sensation,
I felt a jubilation, a stellar ovation.
Beyond the Milky Way, where the astral dragons play,
And the light of distant day, takes a century to relay.
I danced with constellations, in celestial celebrations,
And made my declarations, to the universe’s ovations.
Through the black hole’s gate, where destiny and fate,
Weave the threads ornate, of existence’s slate.
I peered into the core, where time will be no more,
And saw what lay in store, on the other shore.
As I drift through cosmic seas, where the void’s cold breeze,
Whispers through the galaxies, and unlocks their keys.
I am humbled by the sight, of the infinite night,
Where every star’s light, is a poem taking flight.
And when my journey ends, where the universe bends,
And the fabric of space rends, to where all existence tends.
I shall return to the Earth, to the place of my birth,
With a soul of newfound worth, and a heart full of mirth.
For though I roamed through space, in an explorer’s embrace,
It is the human race, that holds the highest place.
In the cosmic poem’s verse, we are the universe,
And our story, terse, is the cosmos’ purse.
So let me sail on still, with an unquenchable thrill,
Through the cosmos at will, with a poet’s quill.
For in the aether’s deep, where the celestial secrets keep,
There lies a dream so steep, it makes the angels weep.

This was so fun from a literary perspective!! It’s like the Hans Pfall Stories and Maelstrom but galactic!!
These Poe stories gave way to The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne happening somewhere in there in the mix!!
Poe may have created Sci-Fi but those others pioneered it into newfound genre that’s still so blossoming in creativity and original ideas today.
On another note! It reminded me the mix between Shinichiro Watanabe’s work that flushed between time and archaic eras and the future and space exploration. Samurai Champloo is my favorite 😎😎🤌🏼 and Cowboy Bebop is PEAK. But it has a lot of odes to Space Dandy I feel. This like kismet with hopeful humor and lightheaded serenity of exploration.. I think I’ll put it that way. With Tri-Gun badassness somewhere in there too.
So much fun, I love Poe stuff.
In Space at that!!! 🌌🪐💫
[🥷🏻accents too and 👩🏻🚀. Those too⚙️⏱️⛈️]

Alluring Lore always gets me and edgar-allan-poe-style in the tags beseeches a roundabout o’ reading. So many now, yay!! 😎😌
Thanks, Sam! Im glad you’re enjoying the tags and finding plenty to read! 😎📖
