As I: A Poem
As I stare
across the coal sky,
as my eyes ascend
to the glittery heavens,
as I stand alone
enveloped by the chill of night;
in awe, I admire
the floating moon
in a sea of stars,
how vast, the endless depth of
space spreads,
an object of desire
fulfilling my deepest, suppressed
requisite needs,
an appetite I cannot whet,
a thirst I cannot quench,
for things beyond,
afloat in the unreachable sky
that my raging curiosity muses over,
in search of salvation,
through passionate observing
of the Creator’s wonders
through my limitedly human senses,
granted generously
by the ever Almighty,
the ever Omnipresent,
the ever Gracious & most Merciful;
in realization, I am,
but a mere dot
in a harmonious sgalaxy,
in a massive, enigmatic universe,
so powerless,
so small.
