Into the Black Hole, Out The Quasar

I am a traveler, and these are my travels.

I stick my eyes upward, and suddenly find
Black bands bending light while I
Drift into the spherical plane resist
Themselves and leave me smiling
Into the depth and rhythm of cosmic churnings.

I stop into the mire, I bounce inside the mixture;
Time stops, all is motionless in the
Magnanimous speed surrounding me.

Then, all at once,
Streaming into consciousness I find
Brilliant light before my eyes.
It twists and shapes and combines with the darkness,
Huddling like the hot air on black pavement into
A burst of birthing fractions made whole again.

I reach the outer edge,
I find the end point pregnant with clusters
Of numerous prisms expanding infinitely
Into the otherwise empty space of the cosmic fugue.

I dig the cosmic/physics poetry and metaphor, Charlie. It makes for some pretty cool visuals when I close my eyes and try to imagine the universal vortex you are describing, the center of the swirling chaotic motion.

This piece has some nice alliteration, as well, which gives it a nice rhythmic flow, which seems to mirror the motion within the imagery you've created. It's a nice polyphonic effect.
