Vertical Distance

Look up
aye so contrite
yes the sun is bright
lays strewn upon the feet of grass
and does not forsake the anvil of stars

Should you dabble with connection
some philosophical denouement
perhaps of leaves
to scatter from the fingers
of cosmology

A vertical distance of loosely inter-weaved
this thesaurus of chaos
a dictionary of galaxies
assemblage of troubled theories
predisposed to nonsense

Look up
forget all the technological apologies
complex comprehensions
implement involvement
and sate such moments with emotions

Look up
and there profound all unanswered questions
simplicity entangled
the sweep of heavens
a mortal witness of eternity

‘Tis but a moment of listen
such subtle intoxication
and giddy to the whirl
can only cause a smile
there upon the feet of creation

Who then would forsake
the anvil of the stars
