Spirals and Arms

The Universe delights as the colors weave together

Dark cores pulling filaments of gas into spirals

Clusters burst into life, shining into ever-expanding night

Yet in these clouds lie worlds upon worlds

Too numerous to count amongst the starshine.

Threads of stars streak through lines

Following their paths around the central core

Yet numerous other galaxies will fold into each other

Orderly spirals give way to irregular globs of gas

Forming denser structures till the gas burns out
