The Mysteries Of Space

Two giants of space glide through

their tails swirling like a long lasso

as the gases and meteor showers

that bomard it for several hours

slow it down and act like a glue.

Like some black hole

spermatozoa

fights the tide but only gets slower

struggling to reach further into space

each from different directions to face

one another whilst resistance is lower.

A millenia they travelled skies alone

their kind are as yet an unknown

and as they touch the gas is ignited

and all about them dark is lighted

celestial fireworks to call their own.

The larger of the two reverberates

it shares it's joy and never hesitates

something in the exchange is done

and they break apart by rising sun

to continue along their own fates.

Life in space is still a big mystery

such aliens may not swim our galaxy

but there are many others out there

sailing the nebulas as if they were air

on journeys that we shall never see.
