POETRY BY ROBERT LIMA

A S T R A L S
___________

"We are such stuff as
dreams are made on."
Shakespeare

We have been taught our bodies came from dust,
to dust, then, would return at death.

Tonight, I learned that only half a truth was told
for wise astronomers, as one, now state
that stardust was the matrix ore
of which all things were ultimately made
when, primally, a Supernova burst
and sprinkled its debris across
the far-flung galaxy that's our abode.

Since then, our bodies, made of astral dust,
are longing to locate themselves once more
among the womb of stars.

ROBERT LIMA

Description: My poetry is inclusive of all that's around us. Whatever catches my eye and engages my mind is a suitable topic. I've published eight books of poetry; these cover a vast array of experiences, both external and internal. Their titles: FATHOMS (1981) THE OLDE GROUND (1985) MAYALAND (1992) SARDINIA/SARDEGNA (2000) TRACKING THE MINOTAUR (2003) THE POINTING BONE (2008) THE RITES OF STONE (2010) SELF (2012)
