NEW ASTROPOEMS AT TARGOVISTE ASTRO-FEST 2023 (9)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe

This was the concluding poem that I recited at Runcu Stone on the last night of the festival (21/22 October 2023).

GRAVITY AT TARGOVISTE ASTRO-FEST 2023
.
Somewhere...
around the Sun,
between the orbits of the planets
Venus and Jupiter
(which could then be seen
in the sky of the earthlings)...
Sometime...
between the Taurid meteor shower
and the Orionid meteor shower...
.
I saw sky lovers abandoning
their existential problems
and gathering together for a few days.
I saw them among exhibitions
of astronomical publications
and great astrophotos,
in astronomy sessions
and astro-humanist galas,
enthusiastic in describing,
quantifying, debating, singing
and poeticizing stars
and other sequences of the Universe.
I saw them in observational nights
causing the smile of the growing Moon
and contaminating themselves
with the play of the South Taurids
and the Orionids.
.
And I included them all in my heart,
a really noble family
gravitating in a blue world,
somewhere through Our Galaxy.
