The Universe

The universe blew to bits behind me, 
But I didn't notice. 

I was looking the other way, soaring wildly, 
Losing substance, 

Through time and space toward eternity 
Toward God.

Concept of Universe is still beyond human perception. Attempt of any problem to explain should not be focused on God. God is not the ultimate solution. Have Good Days.

Thank you Justin. You know what they say about "hooks." I guess that's what the first line is. Glad you liked. Beverly Read
