Notes About The Poem

" THE UNIVERSE " MY PHOTO, ©

Universe's Immensity

Oh divine universe ,

you,

that billions of years of light your diameter is,

in awe 

before your grandeur we stand, wondering:  

"How 

did the Lord,  your immensity,

within 

our mind's limits contained?"

Beautifully said my friend. I once heard it said that to try to understand God is like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon because His mystery and immenseness is so vast. As always your words are wonderful and your thoughts deep. God Bless, JB

Unanswerable, but immense are your words. By the way, the picture of the flower of swirls is very appropriate.

Demetrios, the words were cosmically outstandingly extra monstrosity-feeling-expanded-beyond-limits. But then you added a particular way of typing that made this poem FEEL like the infinite largeness of this galaxy and the next one.

My friend, Tom, I am sorry but you seem to miss the point: I do not say that Man can actually understand universe's immensity but I say that God contained the immensity of the universe in our mind of which we use no more than 5% of it! Forget not that to God nothing is impossible! Thank you!
