Pulse cannons light the arc in the twin engine nacelles
Fusion generators ...catch the spark...
Softly aglow its energies ...are brought into focus
Roaring to life...
Awakening some spirit sun
...within the heart beat
Of the starship
Arcturus
Launching swiftly ...into heavenly flight
Riding securely balanced between
Twin beams of light ...like laser beams
Aimed to a distant star field
Gathering momentum ...shifting phase in waves
Gradually accelerating ...in both frequency ...and wavelength
Blazing furiously down the tract ...warping time...
Lost quickly ...quietly ...in the distance
Until the moment of reflection ...wanes...
As it is... consumed ...within the night
Phase shifts ...once more
Exponentially gathering momentum
...into the universe beyond
Just as the horizon
Is abruptly interrupted
By the ...moontide
Moon+rise
Stark reflections ...casting harsh shadows
Like mountains mirrored upon still waters
...like stars against the background of the night skies
Scenes unseen for eons ...populate our dreams
The vortex of the afterglow of the star engines
Expelling antimatter as the fuel is created, then consumed...
In each pulse... thrust makes incremental increases
Glow with negative energy, drawing in light
Like a hungry fire ...consuming stardust...
Dark images make impressions
In our thoughts
As we push away
From one star system
To the next...
As the vessel begins
The characteristic
First observed by
Starships entering
...spindrift...
Spin+drift
The Arcturus
Strides dimensions, the drive engines
Operate by the principle of warp realignment
Matter+energy conversions are directed to the core
Mega+magnetic fields are created for containment
Dark energy cells are stacked within a matrix
Antimatter pods are injected into spaces
Between the DE cells ...within the matrix
Arc projections are created ...and collapsed...
Paired and layered ...repeatedly
Until a chain+reaction is initiated
And with the continued feed
Of compressed dark matter
The chain reaction is sustained
Sandwiched between a rotational core
Making a synthetic black hole
Whose energy can be utilized
By projecting a warp
Creating a burp ...in the time+space continuum
Extending as it leapfrogs time+space
Hurtling through space
An outside observer could swear
It was seeming to shimmer and glow
Then disappear...
Traces of our innermost creativities
Searching the contour of the corridors ahead
By dark matter telemetry
Soft explosions of nano-anti-matter particles
Were cast ahead in far space ...into the void
At hyper+photic velocities,
Anti-matter packets were expelled all around
Creating dark matter implosions ...leaving echoes
...in the astral skies
Like mirror pools ...of shadows expressed in light
Flight beyond the speed of light
Is a beautiful testament of mathematics and physics
Used for an obscure equation
Which one day allowed access for the
The translocation of people across time+space
After countless millennia of mankind
A host of echoes of unspent desire
Seeking expression upon our ever reaching minds
Having allowed us
To make another great leap forward
In consciousness
…Next stop…
Personal transporters,
Perhaps with beam technology
Within collapsible force fields
And beyond
