Of Infinity

A hint, a clue 
from me, to you
A sign, a cue
we exist, what's new

Part of this universe, we'll always be 
even when dead, our atoms roam free

Be sure, be aware 
we're here, everywhere 
Death comes, death scares
this view, most share

So many beliefs, in our human mind 
we'll rise again, but not of this time

Your doubt, your tears
mortality, draws near
Don't dread, don't fear
we carry on, you hear 

There is no end, we simply change
in my reality, some find so strange 

Why evil, why bad
human form, can go mad
First happy, then sad
I'm sorry, your glad

Am I apostate, am I trying to deceive 
to speak my mind, of what I perceive 

Our falls, our bruises
all chance, no ruses
Who wins, who loses
on earth, fate chooses

And at some point, I'll crawl once again 
I'm just not certain to where, or when

Terry Flood Date: 11/12/2021 2:57:00 AM You’ve inspired me to finish my work-in-progress ‘Ingredients’. Gave you a nod in the foreword in case you do me for plagiarism;-) Terry Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 11/12/2021 3:56:00 AM Ha ha, I'm delighted hope it takes you into the realms of greatness, best of luck with the poem, I'm looking forward to reading it, cheers David

Sotto Poet Date: 11/11/2021 8:58:00 PM A thought-provoking verse. If the universe continues to expand at its current rate, I wonder if it would ever come to a standstill or even reverse its course. Everything on Earth has always existed and will continue to survive in its status quo. When we expire, our electrons, ions, and other substances will generate at some future point. Good luck with your contest entry.

Tom Cunningham Date: 11/11/2021 8:44:00 AM Thought provoking verse David, where did it start and will it ever end.?, they say the universe is still expanding, I often wonder when it gets to its limit will it go into reverse. Great entry for the contest, good luck. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 11/11/2021 9:02:00 AM Thank you Tom, your certainly onto another possibility the "Big Crunch" back to where it started then repeat the process, into another cycle perhaps an infinite cycle, more to, Déjà vu than we think, I really do ponder the infinite possibility's infinity can offer, lol cheers David

Terry Flood Date: 11/10/2021 4:19:00 PM This excellent write is uncanny, David. I’ve been working on a poem that I just can’t get right. But the upshot is that every atom of everything and everyone on Earth has always existed and always will. When we die, our atoms, our minerals etc will, sooner or later be re-used. It is meant to end with the notion that atoms of us and of those we have lost may well meet again… in the same blade of grass. I think that is weirdly close to your message. Great minds huh? Terry Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 11/11/2021 12:22:00 AM Thanks Terry, if the universe is infinite we're in luck, it means everything that can happen will happen an infinite amount of times, when we die, infinite amounts of time will pass by instantaneously til we recombobulate again, I know sounds crazy, but that's Infinity, with your creativity and imagination, you could well write a masterpiece on this subject, and you have Infinity on your side, great minds, or mad genius, cheers David
