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. 

Lacking many textbook facts about stars and planets, 
little taints my imagination's vision of a limitless heaven.
Galaxy gazing allows me intoxicating sparks of 
ignorance-rushes that dizzy my mind.

When I attempt to focus on the beyond laying beyond 
the known beyond, rubber bands brain-snap my 
inconceivability with slaps that strike me 
overwhelmed before ....

       leaving me pinned
                                  where I
                                               don't know the universe is.

Janice Canerdy July 14, 2019 at 9:38 PM Very descriptive and thought- provoking, CayCay! Janice

Timothy Mcguire July 14, 2019 at 5:20 PM Great poem I like it! Reminds me of one I wrote - "I'm Down Here"

Jennifer Proxenos July 6, 2019 at 1:55 AM 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.

Richard Lamoureux July 6, 2019 at 12:26 AM I think you nailed this theme. Bravo CayCay.

Andrea Dietrich July 5, 2019 at 7:45 PM 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.

Harry Horsman July 5, 2019 at 9:25 AM Amazingly clever poetry, Love the third to last line, the unlimited universe?

Charles Messina July 3, 2019 at 6:09 AM Wow Caycay. Such a great entry for the contest! Written so well.. Love this! Poetry hugs :) ~Charlie CayCay Godwin July 3, 2019 at 8:05 AM 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
