Listen to poem:

Cosmic Prize

Cosmic Prize

An accident, you say

Inconsequential 
To rise from sleep and 
Mark the day 

Brought on 
in a Trillion traces 
the faces of another dawn

The universe at play

Who knows 
How the sun first rose
Who witnessed the display 

Who realized the cosmic prize
That marks the Milky Way
