Among the universe

Among the universe

.

 

Beneath a sparkling canopy

of infinite design

Enchanted by the sights I see,

the magic I now find

 

To dream below this midnight sky

of places far away

Much more than ever meets the eye,

so vast this found display

 

An endless realm of fables ‘cross

a limitless expanse

Of ancients worlds, of Gods and Kings,

of passion and romance

 

Dimensions of a cosmic feel,

no roadmap in my hand

Or signs to point out what is real,

regardless what was planned

 

These thoughts they gather deep inside,

my mind begins to stroll

As there is nothing it can hide,

beyond my own control

 

To live, I feel so very small,

these visions I immerse

To gaze above and find it all,

among the universe

So many people forget to look up at the sky, and especially at night it is a treasure trove of delight.
I do believe that the universe controls everything, it is the energy that we all draw from and return to .
Yes my friend how small we are in comparison to this magnificent wonder and such a lovely tribute you have written with your usual gorgeous imagery ..

Thank you so much Stella. Nothing in more alluring and more mysterious than the night sky.

[Chris Shaw]

Been a star gazer and night sky wanderer for what seems ever. Fascinated by the vastness of tu all. We are a dust mote
by comparison. I quite like the feeling of getting lost up there. Really nice poetry will. Beautifully visual.

There's nothing wrong with dreaming big!! I do it all the time.... This is just lovely, the words, the idea of letting your mind be free to think of whatever comes to it....we are all very small compared to the vast universe...and it overwhelms us...but so what ....we are all little speck who can dream BIG!
Loved it!

You're very welcome dear Will
Warmly, B

[Beccy]

It's so vast, we are so small, save when we dream and allow our minds to endlessly absorb.

Your writing is so very enjoyable.

Beccy.

Thank you for reading and commenting.

People have been gazing up at the night sky probably since we lived in caves. Their imaginations have been triggered by vast, dark expanse, and much writing has been inspired by it. I don't see anything like astrology or science fiction in this offering, though, just awe. That, to me, is more than enough.

Thanks so much my friend.

WW,
Man! I think I avoid rhyming because of poets like you. Your ability to reveal such powerful and important insights within this game of words is stunning to me. I just cannot do it. Hats off, bowing at the waist, Salute!

Thanks so much again Vol. I am always amazed at what hangs in the sky overhead and wished I could see as far as it goes.

Love this. Like minds… I happen to be working on something of a similar theme.

These lines epecially stood out for me:
Among the universe
Beneath a sparkling canopy
of infinite design
To dream below this midnight sky
Dimensions of a cosmic feel,
To live, I feel so very small,
these visions I immerse
To gaze above and find it all,
among the universe

Thanks so very much I am glad you liked this one. You can often find me outside in the dark staring up at the sky and dreaming,

From such dreams we are all born

This is lovely! The form and context are both just perfect. I love your writing for its hopeful dreaminess. No matter the lack of light in the world, you always manage to shine.

[willweb]

Thank you so much Linda Marie, what a nice thing to say to me. I appreciate your kindness and friendship always.

We see it as we do...there is such beauty in this universe, but right now there is so much hate and violence we are mucking it up.
I wish I could still gaze above all that and still find visions worth seeing.

[willweb]

My suggestion, start watching the heavens and quit watching the news. I believe truly that these news organizations are responsible for the destruction of this country and this world. From Fox to CNN to MSNBC to Facebook and Tik-Tok (Yes, Facebook and Tic Tok) All they do is fuel the hate, that is their agenda. Why, I have no idea but if there is a deep state, it is them. This is what divides us. So...I watch the stars and the trees and the flowers grow now. Maybe just a mask but one that makes me smile. Thanks Jacob and sorry for the rant.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Do not be sorry, it is what it is...and yes, the organizations spew news to titillate not just to relay like in the old days.
And I stay as far away from Facebook as possible...ugh.
Rant away my friend...Stars, Trees, Flowers nature in general....yes that is what to watch.
