Former national youth laureate for astronomy and astropoetry, Adrian Sima graduated in Physics and then Theology, and now he is a priest at a church and teaches physics at a high school and math at a university.
For his astropoem I used pictures that I took on April 20, 2022.
FOUCAULT’S DREAM
Astropoem by Adrian Sima
Photo-scenario by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
The one who turned the horizon into a clock
and saw the rotation of the planet
in the steps of gravity written on the sand
could feel his blood spinning
like a red bird to the heights ...
his heart,
hanging from the vault of the sky,
beat like a pendulum
in the highest tower of the city...
and even if the sun,
like a flower of a long-forgotten tree,
hid in the waters of clouds,
he saw his rotation on the sand
like captive time rolls
in his childhood hourglass.
