Cosmic Wonder Comments

Really the cosmos is very wonderful and we have to bow before its grandeur. Here so many stars and galaxies are scattered in infinite space. No one can predict properly the end of universe. Where there is birth there is death, but no one can say about it properly. The last stanza reveals a philosophical touch that you have painted so movingly. Beautiful poem.10

(When there was nothing there was God, if I would not have been created I would have been God, I was ruined due to my creation, If I would not have been created what a thing I would have been!)

Quiet interesting topic with philosophical write. Very true said.... Just as this universe was born, it would one day die With all the planets, stars and starlets of the sky Who can predict how it is going to end... No one know how and when its going to end. Beautiful poem. Loved it. Thank you Valsa for the lovely comment.

A lovely poem detailing the wonders in the cosmos and it's expanse. Thanks for sharing it

great write madam.............like it......

A very beautiful poem. Cosmos is a wonder to behold. We can bow in awe or terror or simple devotion according to our own emotions, it doesn't diminish its grandeur nor does the human desire to know and learn more about it. Thank you for such lovely poem.

very detailed, very prophetic and very poetic work! a fine read knowledgeable!

What a truly epic write. I love the narrators speculative tone which is almost the voice of a seer, a seeker of truth with beautiful turn of phrase here and there. I loved the metaphor of the night stars as chandeliers. Hope to discover more such powerful pieces.

What a great write! Enjoyed reading! I hope someday we would be stars in the sky and children would look up and wonder what we had left behind!

In the cosmic expanse who can decide what is up what is down? No one knows how it was created. No one knows how it will end. New stars and planets get created. Cosmos is ever expanding. You have attempted to explain the creation and its operation with a beautiful poem. Thank you.

Being inspired by your poem.....Valsa.....I wrote a poem 'Long live cosmos' borrowing a few words and a little idea for which to you I am indebted..................

Cosmic wonder is a beautiful and holistic selection of theme the poet selected for the poem. I have read the poem slowly fully making my body and mind and conscience in such spirit of perfect meditation like mindset and I finds in this poem the real vibration of love to the universe, the existential theories of world or universe the correct wording and I felt it so peaceful and respect the poem in such wonderful feelings. Thank you poet and admire to the perfect words of poetry in such beautiful style and rythm.

Madam Valsa, The cosmic wonder shrinks in size and concept when one pensively thinks over the entire origin and evolution of life on this sole planet with a position of chances in the solar system, it fades out when you learn about the interim phases of no life to mere micro organic stages that followed suit, the phase of ice-age that lasted for millions of years and when you read about the fatal striking of asteroids that eliminated the huge reptiles before the re origin of life on the earth.The extra terrestrial force that does not prevent the ice age, a holocaust of the kind or a period of no serious life on the earth cannot be perceived as a wonderful one working with consistent and judicious prudence or clarity of deeds. It is never a question of reasons for a mere belief that props in here. If you say God created everything in about a week`s time about 6000 years ago as described in the Bible or as per the description given is in the Koran or any other religious scriptures, it is okay and every theist has the right to say so....... But when you say it was the Big Bang which set the things in tune 13.78 billion years ago and behind that let us assume a God doing great work, the argument looks evasive of conviction. Still if you believe, there was a power that caused the Big-Bang alone, I have good reasons to withdraw from the argument and I am extinguishing the spark you have referred to Let the the notion of a cosmic wonder be thrown to the mercy of time to diffuse for ever. Science will surface in the most realistic form one day.

Indeed this cosmos is a wonder And whether it is wise Of science to interfere- I wonder Thinking man oft raises his head Gazes at the star-filled sky overhead Upon the canopy mysterious Under which he lives and moves Frets and philanders Asks ‘what is the meaning of it all’? And bows his head in humble ignorance Better be not the wise owl Than play the laughing and satirical role Let this cosmos face no impending threat And last till the day infinite Let countless dawns dawn Let countless sunsets set Let countless lives come and proliferate.....Valsa.......A superb write as always.......

A marvelous description of the universe with it's vastness and wonders keeps me spellbound.

Good morning Valsa. This poem was so beautifully written, woven together as the universe you have so greatly described, you painted a word picture which is indeed a masterpiece. Indeed an awesome and well written poem! My belief is that God spoke this world into existence, Genesis chapter 1, and that he is the reason we exist, for His glory. John Chapter 1: 1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Colossians 1: 16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: - King James Bible Authorized Version, Cambridge Edition Thank you for reading, reviewing and commenting on my poem.

Dear Dinesh, We enjoy refuting something in which we don't believe..... it is quite human! But I have all the reasons to believe that an extra terrestrial hand has set the universe in tune... If we observe the working of the universe, we see that there is a set pattern and there are clear natural laws... The scientific evidences say that the universe came into being through a big bang.... but none can say what caused that to happen.... There must have been an external force.... if the universe functions in such an order without the conditions changing erratically, there must be someone guiding it. A violin won't produce music unless its strings are touched by someone! ! Thanks Dinesh, for being the reason to spark off such an argument!

dearly writes with a painful heart........ mere words never say anything but Just as this universe was born, it would one day die With all the planets, stars and starlets of the sky Who can predict how it is going to end

If it is some extra terrestrial hand that has set the Earth and life in tune, things will remain for ever and in this perishing region of the cosmos surrounding the solar system with the Sun likely to die out in about 2.3 billion years from now, the factual wonder is not supported by the notion of time. And the wonder about everything being benevolently strewn and there being countless dawns and sunsets and endless generations coming and begetting too come within the preview of accidental chain action sequent to the accidental origin of life in our sole planet...None wonders from the remaining planets and none other than man feels a cosmic design.. We think that things are going fine. But every second the untoward is happening To write about the futility of all these mysteries there must exist a LIVING BEING with man`s intelligence who is not to die for about 3000 trillion years on account of any catastrophe and he/she alone can feel the mystery of this universe that is an ACCIDENTAL PHENOMENON. That is quite impossible. A child`s curiosity dies only when the balloon rightly blasts and just because the child dies before the blasting of the balloon, the balloon does not become a great wonder and it continues to be an object of attraction with mere air filled within.... The primitive man wondered about the moon or the sun, in 1800s our ancestors wondered about the solar system, later our grand parents began wondering about aliens and multiple galaxies with or without the easy or uneasy forms of organisms surviving in the earth.. We like to celebrate our times with childlike innocence and tell again and again.... Once there was a super power that created everything for a change and that power has been instrumental behind all these.. Literature has often been used and abused for that purpose. But for some of us for whom the facts read from the books of science alone matter much in such cases, it is obviously not fit enough to crack our brains over all these as we do not see any significant or substantial parameters to dilate upon the things which are favourably disposed to life or its bare and visible paradoxes. Your poem, madam is a superb write with proper diction and the style of rendering is great. The only thing that might be asked is this - Even after all these centuries of living or struggles for a survival do we still need to wonder about a cosmic touch attributable to things from the point of view of optimists who build the homes over the graveyards of the lesser living beings mostly outnumbered perhaps by the human beings at large? Is this accidental life still fascinating to us as the vast spaces and the dying planet time and again tell about the inevitable, imminent and ultimate catastrophe awaiting to strike any time? Anyways thanks for sharing this poem.
