Cosmic Awakening

I can’t begin to comprehend the vast
universe as it expands away from 
the point in which I stand a minuscule 
fluff of dust awaiting universal 
light to fluoresce my soul and illuminate
the unfolding of my cosmic consciousness;
as darkness becomes a forgotten place 
I become stardust of an ancient sun
sparkling in the painting of creation.

oh, I really liked this poem, especially the 'cosmic consciousness'--a hard concept to describe but you did so quite well. Great contest entry.
