Of Infinity
Beyond the horizon as far as eye can see
And further still until all fades from view,
Even impatient rocking of the aqueous sea
Or tiny twinkling stars of a silverish hue.
I’ve heard soft whispers of true nothingness
In distant places unimaginably dark and bleak
In realms of fantasy, and so, I must confess,
Infinity is even beyond that of which I speak.
Somewhere out there where creation begins
Where all that exists grew from tiny sparks,
And, perhaps, beyond where our creation ends
The truth of everything unknown embarks.
Arriving there still no far horizon is sighted
Where darkness reigns, nothing is lighted.
