Imagine Eternity

a millisecond - like one grain of sand among all the universe - history’s hourglass running on earth and other planets now imagine this - all those gaps as one big void spread out over time a void which measured would be one trillionth of unblinked time Aug. 10. 2021 for unseeking seeker's The Void Poetry Contest

What a clever, sophisticated, poignant poem, powerful and meaningful. I wish you the best of luck but foresee this as a top winner. I'll have to think before I ever try to blink - imagine, 'one trillionth of unblinked time. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

well i knew I would not win, jennifer. I have no clue about these "voids" so I imagined them in terms of everlasting life.

Our tiny brains can not grasp the mysteries of creation. You'd go around the bend trying to understand it. Tom

Andrea, Such a spectacular imagined eternity in this small but poweful Tanka. So well done, don't blink. -Richard
