Cosmos

A flurry of imagination

Begs the cosmos to expand

Til I view the wonders of the universe

And hold it in my hand.

 

Tease me, please me, help me

Understand the secrets that you hold.

Take me deep into your center

Where your miracles unfold.

 

Slip beyond the way that’s milky.

Launch to unknown galaxies

Where none have gone and

None can know your sundry eccentricities.

 

I have marveled at your marvels

From this marble where I stand,

But the breadth of your expanses

I will never understand.

 

If I live for all eternity

Your secrets would be safe and sure. 

For the cosmos is the only thing

That is destined to endure.
