Dark Matter
What is the mass of dreams or memory?
What matter
Of the universe
Allows us access to the
Incorporeal pleasures of the
Soul?
_
What corporeal costs
Are charged for every
Flight of imagination?
_
What hymns of
Nothing
Beyond the little moments
Of life unnamed
Uncategorised
Can fit into the chapters
Of common physics’ prayerbook?
_
The sight of a song
The scent of a sunset
The taste of a dream
The feel of a good story
In your hands.
The mass of cherished
Memories.
_
What is the mass to be measured
Of all the unseen matter
Of the universe?
Unseen but felt
All the same.
