THE TRUE LIGHT
-astro-photo-poem by Valentin Grigore-



In the age of light pollution
we remain the adepts of the light
which comes from the heavens.



PERSEIDS 2015 -
THE LAST NIGHT OF FALLING STARS

In memory of Sabin Fota
(physician and multiple national laureate for technical astrophotography)

-astropoem by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe;
photo by Sabin Fota-

If our ancestors thought that
the falling stars were mortal omens,
today the sky lovers think that
the meteors are joy for soul.

All humans think that
things do not stop on our planet.

Since I don’t know too much
about existence and death,
I think that
those able to watch
a night of falling stars
before going on to an unknown dimension
had a luminous life on Earth.

PLANETS’ DNA
-astro-art-poem by Tit Tihon-

(ADG Note:
On the occasion of the International Year of Light,
mathematician teacher Tit Tihon
launched in the Romanian language the longest ever astropoem - about 4,000 verses -
and created the original astroartwork below,
proposed to be transformed into a statue of enormous dimensions
in the Romanian town of Roman)

The light is the essence of the earthly confinement
Terra hidden among the spires of the Milky Way
Divinely metamorphosed on the unique solar tridimensional trajectory

On the planet lost in the solar system
The light thrashes about in realms for depths
A sublime energy which gave the living beginning
With a 3D Big Bang for the universal DNA

The light emitted simple formulas
Transforming opacity into transparency
Relativistic theories understood only by some
Experiments explained through simple models

Fed with enthusiasm from primordial energy
The scientist also emitted a simple formula
Determining antique-herculean conflicts

All happens indistinguishably
And from this reality
The neutronian appears
Liberated by society in reclusion:

‘I have the satisfaction of evolution
Like Adam sanctioned by Saint Mary.’

THE MUSIC OF THE STARS
-by Bruce Boston (USA,
the first Grand Master of SF poetry)-

The music of the stars is
so very faint it is drowned
by the sounds of the city,

the steady drone of traffic,
the whine of sirens wailing
through day and night,

the clamor of crowds and
the hubbub of the media.
The music of the stars is

so very faint it is lost
in the static of the rain,
the timbres of the wind

batting against the trees,
in the rhythm of waves
consuming the shore.

The music of the stars is
so very faint, yet there
remain those of a certain

mind and heart who listen
hard enough to hear it,
never completely sure

what kind of music it is,
yet convinced it is the
one they must dance to.

ever moving past
our former visions
of the mighty gods,
birth new legends.

NO MATTER
-by David Kopaska-Merkel (USA,
editor of Deams & Nightmares,
former president of the Science Fiction Poetry Association)-

Less than a mote—nothing!
Then: let there be light
But not at first; at first
It's too hot and tight for photons
To do their communication thing

The good old days
We were all neighbors
And you were hot
We all were; protons burned
In the shade

They say each mammalian species
Lives for about the same number of heartbeats
In those days our hearts beat so fast
We'd not have reached sunrise
If there was a sun

NORTHERN LIGHTS IN NORWAY
(Reinebringen, October 2015)
-astro-photo-poem by Alex Conu-

Last night,
I witnessed one of the best Northern Lights displays I have ever seen.
It was tough to take photos.
It was so amazing that most of the time
I just wanted to watch and feel the power of nature.
I got goosebumps all over
and I almost burst into tears.

M 5
-astro-photo-poem by Razvan Rabei-

I collected some rare light
From the sky of the last night.

But it is not just a star,
It is a cluster from my book.

Red, yellow, blue,
As stars after age,
Small or big, not incidental,
After their spectral class.

Stars with stars in gravity,
In groups with clear rules,
Of celestial mechanics,
On millenary tempos,

Just like in the problem of N,
Bodies turning round in tandem…

A sample up in the sky
From the mysterious works that fly.

BEAUTIFUL RADIANT
-astro-photo-poem by Jos Nijland (the Netherlands,
member of the International Meteor Organization)



The radiant of a meteor shower is the point in the sky,
from which meteors appear to originate.
It can be visualized by sunbeams shining through trees during hazy weather.

I’D LOSE MYSELF IN BEAUTY
-astro-photo-poem by Dan Mitrut-







Now I know,
I can do anything in this world.
Immortal, child, champion of mistakes…
Even freedom is not mine.
Something was born, grows and will become
the combustible dust for other stars.
Freedom passes through me,
but it has its own road.







Now I know,
I am a trip and I can share illusions.
The look doesn’t know
the color of my eyes.

STARLUST
-by Larry Jaffe (USA,
coordinator of Dialogue among Civilizations through Poetry Readings 2001-2004,
founder of Poets for Human Rights)-

I transmit eternity
in single breaths
of non-humanity

Silent finger touch nodes
of impossibilities

I reach for things
I cannot touch

Or must I wrack the universe
for hidden symbology
and slowly explode
upon this façade of stars

I dance with infinity
taking delight in leaps
of erotic prowess

Nothing comes between my legs
No images
No folk heroes
Only a purity of lust
And sanity

Eros is my friend and lover
watch her glow with delight
as we cavort amongst the stars

Stars have no gender
but we are all she(s)
that generate
Self-reproduction
Self-confidence
Self-determinism
and
Self-reliance

I speak of cloudburst
saturating the soil
feeding crops

I speak of candy
not so sweet
with just a hint of desire
I speak of you my friend
as we dance amongst the stars.

DON’T BLINK
-by Ann K. Schwader (USA,

Just off
the left wing of
Cygnus, a universe
Keplered with shadow illusions
rewrites
its roll call nightly in nameless
pebbles . . . transitory
traces of not
alone.

LIGHT FROM FUTURE
-by Irina Cristescu-

We are light from light
always new and old
we meet one another under clear nights
to traverse light years
toward stars and galaxies,
houses for the dreams
of the children of tomorrow

Through light, from light
we don’t have dimensions

All what is over space and time
remains written in dust of stars

CELESTIAL SEQUENCES
-astrophotographic poem by Valentin Grigore-











HOW EASILY
-by Boris Marian (Mehr)-

How easily we catch or lose love,
A bright, silver fish
Came, flew to the valley, oh destiny
To be a slave or an immortal god:

“Be a luminous stature to the Creator,
Have the thought agile like a lightning,
Your arm be a combative sword
And your eye be a slipping lunar disk…”

But I return to the old starlight
Like a beloved, unique and duplicated saint.

LIGHT AND LIFE
-by Zigmund Tauberg-

In history
our planet with blue air and water
received light and energy
which made it a living planet.

Gifted with abundant life
which appears from the Sun,
it gave birth to the thoughtful beings
who also have an interior light.

Without that light,
people are bad, cruel and villainous.

That’s why reality shows us
the precious thing we should know:

the solar light makes life,
while the interior light shows how we must live.

LATIN FORMULA
-by Alfredo Caronia (Italy,
residing in Romania;
discoverer of five asteroids)-

Neglected, admired or given up for dead,
lockout language
in austere sobriety
is borrowed
in actuality
of most discussed Formula
in this era of modernity,
the Theory of Relativity!
Enigma for students at Graduation exam,
Dilemma between physicists of Humanity,
Barrier of the speed limit.
Dogma of the mass flow
in energy,
Conflict between the theory of science and faith
in the field of neutrinos,
particles beams escaped going beyond
the speed of light
or summarized in the "God particle"!
Yet both , theories with no certainty or only dogmas of truth!
Latin Orma is imprinted
inside the formula
of the cosmic speed
recalled in sober actuality
in that letter "c"
that harmonizes energy and mass
balanced in every star of Universe
and that Nobility of Latin
gives to science
until this century..,
under the heading
of velocity,
- Celeritas -

DEFECTS OF LIGHT
-by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe-

“Take care,” said to me Ole Romer,
the light could be very fast.”

“Sorry”, I replied,
“the light is too great.”

“Take care,” said to me James Bradley,
“the light could be quite aberrant.”
“Sorry”, I replied,
“the light is too great.”

“Take care,” said to me Albert Einstein,
“the light could be really dangerous.”

“Sorry”, I replied,
“the light is too great.

Even its defects
could make me a better man!”

THROUGH THE LIGHT
-astro-art-poem by Ion(ut) Morau-

Children played in the courtyard of their school.

One of them trained photons through a system of mirrors.

From then on the dream began.

That child was Einstein
and he wanted to find the light anywhere the shadows existed.

So that all his life
he tried to relativize the darkness.

LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
-by Marge Simon (USA)-

It was a psychedelic era,
we saw the stars with
diamonds in our eyes,
our senses worlds beyond.

We spoke mantras to the sunset,
holding hands, believing
that enlightenment would
make things right,

so simply solved,
to give up war
to touch the stars.

SATURN IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCRAP OF SUN
-astro-photo-poem by Adrian Bruno Sonka-

One of the most photographed planets is Saturn.
The reason is obvious:
its beautiful system of rings,
along with the apparent dimensions of the planet,
and many other details visible over there.



Watching this picture that I made,
at first glance we can see the planet’s disk and the system of rings.

But on second glance…

We see the ring surrounding the planet,
hiding the South Pole and behind the back of the North Pole.
Where the ring meets the North Pole
we can see (on the left) a black band -
the shadow of the disk on the ring,
so an indicator for the position of the Sun.



On the ring we can see another black band,
which is in fact a division,
a gap in the ring of 4,800 km wide.

Practically you can take and pass the Moon without problems
through that little black band.
It remains place enough even for a barbeque.

So, the Cassini Division,
a nice place for a picnic!

BEYOND EINSTEIN
-by Marge Simon (USA)-

“For the rest of my life I want to reflect on what light is.”
-Albert Einstein-

Albert’s theories, photon and relativity,
gave vision to the universal structure,
but if matter is a mass of stable light
what are all the unseen properties
of Tesla’s terrible white snakes?

ASCENSION

In memory of my mother Ana,

-astro-photo-poem by Dan Mitrut-



My mother said: leaves are wings.
They fly all the time looking at the stars.
Autumn, the stars fall in trembling leaves.
Likewise, our wings.
She found the way to the heavens even when she is dries and fall.
Ascension to the heavens is free for our souls.
Is this something emotional?
Not.
Only bright autumn.

-The Moon is
the most impressive nocturnal collector of sunlight
for our world.



-The planets are
the Sun’s devoted friends
in our world.



-The stars
(bigger or smaller than the Sun in the infinite Universe)
are not quite
far, uncountable and impersonal,
but they just surround our world
in the name of gravitational fascination.

HAPPINESS TO BE
-by Dominic Diamant-

Perhaps I am a simple mortal
Don Quixote of Dejhagascar
frail and ephemeral species
but my curious thought carries me among the stars
like a small god

No cosmic explosion
no black hole can stop me
to look for Dulcinea

Sometimes I delude myself that
she is close to me

At other times I have to confess that
Aphrodite does not tempt me
in spite of her multi-frequencies

Only Dulcinea’s divine face
makes me fly further
through useless spaces
happy that I have
existed, loved and searched

THE MUSIC OF THE LIGHT
-by Tit Tihon-

Unique, the light of dark matter
escapes from clusters of stars, from time

Sunflowers rise in fields
stems if atemporal waves in winds

The planet cries the light over the twilight
the music of the harp without seconds
bulbs of life metamorphoses lightening hopes
in living souls

The morning a blessed beam catches
multicolored auroras in arms
delicate gleams of earthly glow worms
small diamonds lit by love

On the morning I feel the light with hope
invading my mortal chest
desires sing in waves of a harp
sunbeams which shine in the abyss

VERSES ABOUT THE LIGHT
-by Boris Marian (Mehr)-

In love I looked for a mother,
The light is divided into colors.

I would play with the feline rays,
The light can be crueler that a tiger.

There are stones with their own light,
Days and nights are like truth and hope.

The light without shadows is for blind people.

In our life, if we love,
The light would be more precious.
