“In a light echo, light from the flash is reflected by successively more distant rings in the complex array of ambient interstellar dust that already surrounded the star. V838 Mon lies about 20,000 light years away toward the constellation of the unicorn (Monoceros), while the light echo above spans about six light years in diameter.” Image Credit: NASA
For Kerfe and Jane
The echo of stars’ light
(so bright, so bright)
twinkles through space and time
in radiant waves shimmering
(the sight, the sight)
of shimmering stars
and humming moon
(her tune, her tune)
propels us forward
with Oracle and alchemy
(rhapsodies of fantasy)
we three witches seek guidance
through conjuring magic
(the gifts, the gifts)
of whys and ifs,
thus, we pause life’s darkness
to reveal the light—it’s there, it’s there!
So bright, so bright, so bright, so bright.
This is for my prompt at dVerse, where I’ve asked everyone to echo or write about echoes.
