The Universe

Here, on earth’s globe, I'm a human themed fade on a ball enveloped in sky's ceiling so endlessly dark woven it hides infinite galaxies where no horizons offer locations to position me. My limited mortal thoughts of stars and planets in a heaven without limits causes a spark of faint blushed ignorance rushes that entrance my mind. When I attempt to focus on the beyond laying beyond the known beyond, rubber-bands brain snap my conceivability with whacks that stitch me overwhelmed before .... leaving me pinned where I don't know the universe is. ...

Great poem I like it! Reminds me of one I wrote - "I'm Down Here"

Such a profound write CayCay - we know nothing about the universe really except what we read and hear - it is a limitless entity. I think it is our minds that conjure up the fascination of the Universe and you have done just that through your imagery! Well penned and and best wishes my friend. Hugs and blessings Jenn.

Caycay, you said what I could not say with your very poetic words. This kind of theme I just have to write it from a logical way of thinking. I wish I could do more like the way you did yours! Now let me check out your limerick.

Oh, THANK YOU, Charlie. I posted this in the wee hours and have since felt uncertain whether it was a good pen or not. I'm taking your generous Wow and holding it now instead of doubt. You saved me (self doubt is wasted time, yes?) and I appreciate it. All the best ... CayCay
