Vastness of the Universe
A billion stars above lay witness to
the never ending motions of the sea
whose undulating waves roll cross the blue
and crest on shorelines of infinity.
The vastness of the universe leaves awe
within this humble poet’s probing mind;
I ponder the conclusions one may draw,
what wonders lie beyond are left to find.
As sands of time sift through the hour glass
and days and weeks and years slip slowly by,
I’ve come to realize I’ll ne’er surpass
the bound’ries of this world I occupy.
For we are but a speck in space and time
forever bound within this paradigm.
