Random Thoughts

Beautiful day
beautiful night
divided between
darkness and light

Colors arrayed
colors withdrawn
vanish at dusk
return at dawn

Ceaseless cycle
endless age
play their parts
on celestial stage

Some are born
some will die
on every turn
beneath the sky

Ages come
and ages go
as part of this
galactic show

That you and I
are spinning through
eternal space
is nothing new

Forever is a
long long time
a mountain with
an endless climb

There's nothing
I can do about
these mysteries
there is no doubt

They play around
inside my mind
so tantalizing
and unkind

So vast and
unexplainable
the answers
unattainable

I must accept
as here I sit
that I'm too blind
and slow of wit

to understand
these things, you see
but let's keep that
between you and me
