The Universe Sighs
A Poem
The universe sighs,
Expanding, contracting,
Twinkling planets swirl
Ghostly gases whirl
Frozen crystals hang in elegant rings
Around firey-red glowing globes.
The universe sighs,
Expanding, contracting,
Speckled space spinning,
Sending sparks and comets
Shooting across black velvet space
Fizzing and hissing into the void.
The universe sighs,
Expanding, contracting,
Breathing infinitely,
Building cosmic communities,
Planets of raw raging fire,
Freezing spheres of ice.
The universe sighs,
Expanding, contracting,
Bleeding black into infinity,
A silent sparkling void,
Silver splinters shimmering,
Marking time in millennia.
