The Sea of Universality

Got to thinking what could be?

What of the solar system, the sun

and all its planets? I breathe in

deeply digesting all my imaginings.

And then I take in the magnitude

of the Milky Way in its entirety.

Next on the menu of mind and

matter, Andromeda, then Triangu-

lum and Centaurus, all light years

away. Light, the speed and brilliance,

the splendor and shining of it in the

night sky mirrored in my eye, the seen

and unseen beyond my exploded

envisioning. Can’t help feasting on all

the possibilities as the cosmos like-

wise consumes me, the insignificant

grain of sand I am stranded here Earth-

bound, lost in the forever expanding

Sea of Universality.
