Everlasting Dust

What creations of the Everlasting Dust might be out there? (Image by ALMA) The heart of our galaxy, full of molecular gas and dust, is shown in stunning detail atop the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) space telescope.

Poem Artwork
Everlasting Dust
 
Does the universe know of itself
without light giving
the floating residue of Time's loft
the next iteration of its ever-changing existence?
 
Archipelagos of micro-vortexes
listlessly clamor for their next identity
as sentient beings maintain their defiance,
hold tightly acquired beliefs,
possessions and the accompanying hubris.
 
Eventually…
 
Listening quietly
to the gradual changes in our minds,
invisible erosion of synapses
patiently wait the sparks of wisdom,
the illumination of the unknown.
 
For
 
Just as the winged fluttering of the Papillion
sheds scales of beauty and color,
attic memories forever suspend and collapse
endless tomorrows expand and contract,
so too man's experience becomes a cosmic quiver of matter
eventually jettisoning its used and worn
into the celestial dust,
becoming future’s infinite re-birthing,
growth,
erosion,
perpetual movement.
 
Perhaps
 
The dust of existence
is Time’s foreshadowing,
the universe’s need to stay illuminated,
the fluttered opening of eyes yet to be created,
enjoining the oneness of all.

There is theory which states, If ever anyone discovers the true nature of the universe, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and in explicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. (from Hitchhiker's guide to the universe)

the dust from Sahara desert and others, together with winds and atmosphere pressure of the planet Earth, produces the plankton to nourish all the creatures in the literal sense of the word; it's also the carrier of energetic information. On the other part, the moon dust can kill even an inorganic thing to be extremely unfriendly. . . maybe, this is what is called the universal balance in the framework available to our awareness. Thank you, Odin, for sharing with us. Cheers, alex

“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.” Werner Heisenberg

“My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.” J. B. S. Haldane or Arthur Stanley Eddington,

I read the New York Times article. The article states that since 1947 there have been numerous studies funded by various branches of the military that have been secret or top secret, making them even more interesting for those interested in UFO research.

UFO is very appropriate for something that is "unidentified." While I recall when I was still in high school seeing a strange light in the western sky that seemed to move around for some time and then suddenly fly upward at an incredible speed unknown to aircraft. Still, I have a hard time believing that this phenomenon was anything but something unexplainable.

The History Channel series, Ancient Aliens, seeks continually to prove that extraterrestrial life forms appeared on the earth in the past and left much in the terms of archaeological finds… Creating us and all of our troubles? While these stories are very interesting and often very convincing, they never seem to come to any sound conclusion from a scientific standpoint like many of the discoveries about what is going on in the universe like last week finding another planet in a solar system similar to ours.

The Science Channel series, What on Earth? Covers many phenomena that are spotted from satellites on the earth. When they are investigated, they usually are explained. However, not all have been.

A high school friend of mine who worked with the Air Force during the high tensionperiod of the Cold War, told me that their surveillance back then was so good that they knew everything that moved both on the earth, in the atmosphere and in near outerspace. While they stopped reports of nuclear launches that were reported from earth sightings on the red phone to the president's office, they'd never saw anything that couldn't be explained, threat or not.

When I saw your title, I thought, yes, everlasting dust indeed here in the desert. I am constantly dusting between writing my poems. But upon reading, I see you have reached for and evoked a much deeper meaning.
