Passionate stars burning
at millions of degrees,
wild barbaric planets
with woodlands and seas
Lonely moons in steady orbit
around Jupiterian goals,
asteroid fields of memory
amnesiac black holes
Long-lived civilizations creating
intergalactic literature and art,
all steadily expanding
day by day
year by year
Insight overcoming ignorance
hope overcoming fear

I like this, Sean.
Second stanza my favourite - I love the thought of memory, and the loss of it, woven in amongst the lonely moons:)
Last two lines sign the whole piece off beautifully,
