Watching the silence

Watching the horizon,

I study the silence for signs.

Out of nothing all things came

to nothing all things will return.


For now, there’s this, and us,

a tiny plot of land,

on the edge of the cosmos,

I’m drinking tea,

wondering what’s the point?


And the cosmos replies

isn’t this enough?

All and everything was

created for you,

land that’s green,

sky of blue,


and you are wondering

what to do?

play, pray, love,

it’s up to you,

the stars dance

to the same tune

as the molecules in you.

Just dance.
