The earth turns in 365 days
around a real celestial body: the sun.
She also turns in 24 hours
around an imaginary axis: the poetry.
I, nights and days, turn around you.

Dear Yann, what a delightful poetic creation! The "big design" of harmony inspired you beautifully.

Love,
Margherita

am amazed by time and the relativity of space and matter concepts to it. its an intriguing dimension...interesting how those before us recognized the natural clock... its mechanisms...and the adjustments, such as leap year, to assist in keeping the system in balance...with a 360 degree circle with its 24, 15 degree time zones...found your poem to be stimulating.

R V there is so mathematics in universe that we can't understand it all, the gravitational forces and other forces can be numerized at a very high level and it is really stupendous to consider that without a precision of 10 power minus 23 the world could have not existed....And so many things about  rotation around the sun as you tell...Thank you for the accurate comment.

best wishes

Yann, I loved the way you converted the mathematics of astrophysics metaphysically into art and the bond between you and poetry!

2islander2 - love this line
'I, nights and days, turn around you.' For someone to hear this, or read it, is touching...
