Ascendant solitary starlight, <br />Unanchored symphony of collisions; <br />We meander you into strange constellations <br />Of dignified, but well-meant conflagration. <br /> <br />Imagining god, in primeval longings <br />Incoherently left you thronging, <br />Like random bits of glowing precipitate, <br />That human beings found the need to titrate- <br /> <br />A rational river, organized by myth <br />And orbiting illusions, to ask what if- <br />Cultures peopled by giants and gods, <br />Had monsters gaping through the starry sod.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ascendant/
