Written this day, 3 February 2015, for the "In the Middle of the Universe I Stand" contest.  Thanks for the opportunity.

In the middle of the universe I stand, But that universe is only mine. I’ve heard you’re in the middle of yours, And I think that’s just fine. Should our universes overlap, I hope we’ll get along. Bound to be issues now and then, What is right and what is wrong? We’ll have to share the time and space. We’ll have to share the future too. Good or bad, right or wrong, I guess I’ll share my universe with you. Though we thought we stood alone, Each other’s universe has changed. I suspect that was God’s Plan, That it was all ‘arranged’. In the middle of the universe I stand, Sharing with others in the middle too. “Here’s a place for you, and you and you.” He said. So thankful that He said, “And here’s a place for you.” 3February2015

This is an interesting story, described well with feelings written with the heart and engraved on the soul. A spiritual piece it deals with the nature of man and God merged in purpose and intent. Emile. #7

Thanks for the kind word. These short contest entries never take too long to author, seem to just 'fall out'; but I suspect much about my 'view' is revealed.
