The Whimsical Galaxy
By: Nicolas Abusada
The adventurer looks off into the vast expanse of the whimsical galaxy,
The first destination being the desolate planet, she leaves her home.
Boarding the vessel, she departs into the cosmos,
And sails among the stars of whom produce streams of bright and beautiful atomic
Waves of radiation streaming into the endless oblivion.
The astronaut reaches Mercury and steps onto the alien world, stepping away from ubiquity.
After the adventurer is finished exploring her first land away from her lifelong ubiquity,
She begins her journey to the next strange and wonderful world of the whimsical galaxy.
As the ship approaches, the mighty visage of Venus reveals itself out of dark oblivion,
As the most perilous and scorching planet of them all, albeit the closest to home,
The astronaut fears for her life but feels secure in her armor made of those atomic
Fibers harvested from the unknowable cosmos.
Onto the next, she must go, for her domain is yet to be ascertained in the cosmos.
She arrives at her journey’s inception, back in the gravitational embrace of Earth’s ubiquity.
The savvy suit’s receiver obtains the sounds of her mundane life, from the waves of the atomic,
Just morsels of sound compared to that which could be found in her whimsical galaxy.
The brave explorer, miles away from sweet security, did not yet yearn to return home,
For the end had not arrived for her odyssey of oblivion.
The light of the life-giving star sank deeper into the expansive oblivion,
Reaching further away from the safety of her cosmos
And nearer still the red neighbor of her home.
The Martian surface gleamed in ways that reminded the explorer of ubiquity
Found in the mountains rocky of Arizona, a comparative speck to the whimsical galaxy.
Around and around, red dust draped the landscape in speckles of poignant atomic.
The next destination was before her, the ship leapt from the surface, its carrying flame atomic.
Worlds only seen in textbooks, were before her very eyes as another materialized from oblivion.
As crisp as a brass horn, the grand bands of Jupiter glimmered: the jewel of the whimsical galaxy,
The king of the cosmos,
The titan of space that was the most far yet from ubiquity.
As she observed the iconic spot of red, even her last thought was not of home.
How the adventurer wished the stars could be called her home,
The rings of Saturn now brilliantly bold in the light of atomic
Color and grandeur, further still from all ubiquity.
Words can not describe the scale of an object that could blot out the surrounding oblivion,
And do away with the background of cosmos.
The dynamic wedding pearl was the finest in the whimsical galaxy.
With all said and done, the lass viewed her home from afar across the vacuous oblivion.
She admired her simply separate atomic creation of the clementine cosmos,
Ubiquity could not be further from the truth, for Mother Earth was the very soul of the galaxy.
