The Gap
The gaps between the universe’s intrigue.
Did the heart of all hearts falter,
did the pulse in the neck
of existence die?
One universe - a tittle of bright sand
among untold other,
and in-between
that blank deep dark.
If time is a traveler then the gap,
the dead space, that fathomless
cistern that all light drains into,
is indeed a well of nothingness
that sunders one cosmos from another.
Zoological parks thrive
billions of years apart.
In all living places
God is not mocked…but
that gap between them where no light lives,
that void no eye can open within -
that is the utter separation.
God alone knows
that infinite space between dreams
where all there is and ever will be
are held in empty abeyance,
a death-door where just perhaps,
one speck of hope still flickers.
