    An Atom to a Star

    What place have I

    in this envelope of time?

    I stand upon the shores of eternity

    in awe of the universal mind.


    Its creation before me…

    deep beyond measure.

    As an atom to a star…

    I am one with the cosmos.


    Like shattered, splintering light

    my spirit shines forth and

    echoes endlessly across the universe


    I am one with time…

    consumed by its expanse…

    a ripple upon a sea of immensity.

    Wow, I think you have great capacity for poetry, I would say you have lived and contemplated these things before or you would not have the propensity to look outside the box. Very well written and keep up the good work.

    This is what I love about poetry. There are SO many ways to write poetry and because of that, I get to see how others do it. Hope you understand if I say you write like an "old soul." It's a compliment! :)

    I enjoy how your incorporate your love for space into your writing. What a wonderful way of using imagery. Your rhythm is very nice. I love the last line...it seems to tie a nice bow in the entire presentation of your piece. Another nice write. :o) Bj

    Thank you so for your comment. This was a difficult one to try and write..., because the subject is hard to put into words. My fear about this one is that people would find it to be incoherent. Im glad that you were able to follow it and appreciate the meaning behind it. Thanks =)

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
