Kepler’s Secret<\/h1>\n

by Benjamin Schneider<\/p>\n

Prismatic strands and bright flecks of stardust,
\nstretch across ebony fields of empty ether.
\nLight knows no boundaries;
\nthe living, breathing cosmos.<\/p>\n

Father Time, surely bends and distorts
\nas hidden strings and stellar fabrics,
\nof space eternally alive hold
\neach comet and every new star<\/p>\n

in their place. Flowing elliptical models.
\nNo perfect circles. No celestial spheres.
\nGalaxies spiral outward, in harmony;
\nA peaceful hurricane, shaping the dreams<\/p>\n

of this young universe. Beautiful fractals
\nexist terrestrially too. Our Mother Earth,
\nbirths seashells and cast cyclones,
\nfrom the same ancient mold.<\/p>\n

The blueprint to all matter,
\na golden script of life and death.
\nYet long ago, I told myself:
\nI’d never fall in love.<\/em><\/p>\n
