The Wonder And Mystery Of Time

A Poem

That the light from stars that died billions of years ago
Are still reaching us today
This fact when first learned
Burst my understanding of my place in the universe
What it means to be alive
Forcing an examination of all that I “know”
To look anew at how I relate to everyone else
And my place in the history of existence
To examine what is meant when we talk about
Past-present-future
To question…
