Gregory Richard Barden Poet Sedoka

Notes About The Poem

Infinitude

Milky Way blooms bright -

          thought I'd rearrange the stars,

               for the moon looks quite lonely ...

     but that sea of suns -

that deep, dark, endless abyss ...

          far too fine ... for earthly aims.

John Watt April 11, 2020 at 9:13 PM "That sea of suns" - you keep coming up with new ways to describe things I see all the time, but have never considered describing the way you do. It's a gift, and what makes you unique.
