Ode to the Universe
My doors are closed, yet I know you are still with me
Who are you beyond what I already know? I want to know.
Will I know?
I drive farther North
hoping to have you all to myself
with no city noise, only the grasshoppers’ rubs
My breathing is heavy now,
I am anxious at this moment because I see your full beauty!
At an extent without any lenses or technologies
Yet I can still experience this moment with such an awe
my left eye waters and the other eye follows, I’m in tears
smiling
I lift my hands in the air and stare!
focusing my eyes to my skin and in between my fingertips and out to you
I know I am not alone
I can observe time from gazing at you
The past, the future, and the present
What a present
From star to star
I wonder if I am also being observed from a far
Some one else or something else
feeling the same
on the ground or on the water
wondering
about my existence
You are so much more than your name
‘your name is but a title’
When I die, you will continue to exist
and for eternity many more will notice
and not feel alone
and fall in love
with you,
my Universe
