Eternity Matters

In the middle of the universe I stand Sun watches, winks at the eternal darkness Ignores science and the sight of God It burns out a little at a time to reach an expiration date And contemplates what was Just beyond the beyond, where nothing matters The Bootes Constellation exists with "The Great Void" A little to the right of this we sojourn to the nothingness Deep space, great empty space, grand void within the void When there, you start your journey back from perfect black Traveling at the speed of light to find your way back home It takes some time, 326 million light years to be exact Starting out from any direction, to be precise Would take millions of lifetimes to return you home Sun watches, winks at the eternal darkness Like a burning eye it peers out into space Ignores science and the sight of God It burns out a little at a time and will expire You cannot tell it what to do It already knows the truth There's nothing out there So nothing matters In the middle of the universe I stand Hand in hand with God And wink at the eternal darkness Modified on 2/04/15 for – “In The Middle Of The Universe I Stand”- Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Verlena S.
