My Universe

"Space is the definition of time,
And the speed light travels in a line

My mind cannot fathom,
Our earth is smaller than an atom

Amongst the billions of stars,
And the few we call ours

The earth really is lost in space,
But are we the only human race?

The probability exists we are not alone,
 Until we explore more of the unknown

We won’t know for certain,
What’s behind the universes dark curtain

Better to let others consider,
For I will just ponder and sit here

In my little spot on earth,
Infinitesimal like a grain of dirt

Knowing that I am matter,
With a brain seeking the answer

Is destiny,
Decided for me"
