Notes About The Poem

Of Infinity

We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity" ~Paulo Coelho

Am I dancing in the eddie's of infinity,
Swirling stardust on a cosmic journey
Without beginning, without ending ~
In whirlpools of light and color 
And unimaginable glory?

I feel helplessly small
Trapped in this body made of clay,
Gazing up into the unattainable height
Of stars and galaxies
And light at the edge of the universe.

Infinity cannot be measured 
By the finite machinations of mathematicians.

How do I measure the ether?
How do I become stardust
Swirling and dancing in the eddies
And whirlpools of Infinity?
 
Am I a traveler on a cosmic journey,
Or simply a dreamer of transitory illusions?
