Am I within
This grand design
Of laws and matter
Such that I
Go travelling
A great expanse
Or one so seeming
In truth
A journey of
A thousand miles
Is hardly more than one
In a universe
Far wider still
Than light
Has ever gone
Such that I
Go travelling
A great expanse
Or one so seeming
In truth
A journey of
A thousand miles
Is hardly more than one
In a universe
Far wider still
Than light
Has ever gone
And I
I have run out of
Unsubtle intertwining alliterations
So I kick back
And enjoy this glorious moment
Exquisite beauty
But I prefer the mystery
By the thousands they fly
A twice daily parade
With potent energy
In the morning
A somber homecoming
In the evening
They fly
From I know not where
To I know not where
And none of that matters
So I begin
The time of
Renewal
The sky breaks through
Promising a better day
Tomorrow
Else I’d have never known
The depths of blue
The click of a shutter
Could create
In just half a second
