The Astropoetnaut’s Prelude

Celestial Conversations began it’s journey over 30 years ago in the mid to late 1990’s. It is a non-gender, non-sexual look at relationships and relational motives. The heavenly bodies above have been given personalities and stories since we began observing them in early history. The personalities within these celestial conversations garner inspiration from our own historical musings, and ever evolving scientific exploration. The astropoetnaut is the final voice added to the mix, showing our oblivious nature to everything around us.

The Astropoetnaut’s Prelude
Erstwhile upon a time overmorrow,
an Astropoetnaut set their eyes upon the stars,
seeking, above all, to be amongst them,
to listen as their celestial conversations unfold.
Yet, the grounded soul knows, the universe does not speak, at least not in tones we can hear.
Or does it?
