Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Time Stands Still

The cosmos transports my soul
to a place where time stands still.
And though I'm part of the whole,
its vastness gives me a chill.

Galaxies spin above me;
formed billions of years ago.
And yet, today, I can see
light from their initial glow.

Shining stars dazzle and daze;
twinkling in the Milky Way.
And those same stars will amaze;
billions of years from today.

The universe blows my mind;
there, forever feels real.
And infinity, defined,
affects how I think and feel.
