cosmos

one speck in an organized world

one dot in a blank page

one note in a symphony

one pulse in a living being

your mind stirs like a galaxy in a bowl

ceramic, clattering, the war of two worlds

you are inside one, slipping out the other

inside you go after a ticket into your mind

brighter, brighter you will gather and

harness the energy built inside you

becoming a magnet of beauty and hope

until the strings of space pull taut

there are crashes, are there not?

failed explorations and uncharted destinations

the debris of doubt floats idle in your head

but they are always cleared in the end

footsteps land on foreign planets

flags break its stiff desolate ground

radios program crackling laughter

hearts are raised, millions of lightyears away

the cosmos is indefinitely infinite

but you will make your mark

in between gaps of clouds and dust and rocks

floating in a celestial oasis

here and there

you 

will

glimmer.
