Time and Space
The world spins, never ceasing
The days pass in an endless chain
The sun shines, its energy releasing
Soothing warmth to relieve our persistent pain
The heavens expand in a mysterious dance
Of stars and other matter undefined
We seek to understand as if frozen in an eerie trance
But to no avail as we remain intellectually blind
Time races on unbridled as we observe in awe
We count the seconds as our only means of coping
Worlds collide and vanish as if made of straw
We look deep within, our minds ever groping
Is this a dream from which there is no awakening?
Are we adrift in a void that exists merely in our minds?
Why must the answers seem forever baffling?
The search goes on as if it never ends
Somewhere in the vacuum of time and space
The answers we seek exist but remain hidden from view
No one to see or hear not so much as a trace
A cocktail of elements, a heavenly home brew
So seek not answers that will only foster disbelief
As the truth is far beyond our ability to embrace
To exist is a miracle beyond human belief
We are but a speck of dust in the vastness of space
