The Path of Totality
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Eroding tireless queries, the layers regenerate, as does the
crustacean's secret.
Lifting one’s head above the horizon, unworthiness acclimates;
intimidating the understanding of that which eludes grasp.
Perhaps, intrigue subtracts the splendor from tranquility as
stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision. Alignment may be
eventual, but it's the Mother of Totality who brings forth all gifts.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

Love this concept and so well executed! This left a lovely image in my mind 🤗
Brilliant entry, Lamar!
Great entry, I loved it.
“stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision” is a line I liked Lamar, and this made me think about the sun as a powerful force and life-giver.
That was crazy good you may have a winner with this one
Whoaaaa this was so magnificent! Loved your Acrostic!
“stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision” Amazing entry! ❤️
I especially loved the line - it's the mother of totality that brings all gifts. It's a powerful statement. Excellent acrostic, Lamar!
A compelling acrostic with a contemplative tone! Very nice!
Well-wrought! Mother of Totality!
I'm sure this is excellent as is all your work, but it's poetry so for me 🤷♂️?
Excellent Take on the Challenge
Quite stunning Lamar, and really powerful celestial feel about it. Great interpretation of the brief.
