The Universe

I trust the universe,

With my heart and soul.

I trust the universe,

Like a fish in a bowl.

It's gigantic and amazing,

Ever-expanding - so just keep gazing.

At the endless possibilities it manifests for our kind,

At the countless beginnings that we all seem to find.

Why is it that we worry at all,

When we know that we need to rise and fall,

Rise and fall and rise again!

It's savage as we know it but this is life and it doesn't feign

To be anything other than the extent of our imagination,

We create and destroy - it's a miraculous abomination!

The power we possess is our only true fear,

And once we get past that fiend, life as we know it will become magically clear!

Because fear is present only in the future, and the future is a babe in our arms.

It will learn and mould and shape itself;

Stimulated and seduced by our charms.

So many weapons to commandeer your boat,

Focus on the one YOU have, let it soar, let it glide, let it stay afloat.

Or ride it through the storm and sail it into the abyss,

Take your chances, let it hit and miss!

Hit and miss till you strike one day,

That's when you'll know I'm your heart of hearts and pray

And be thankful for this gift of life, of existence- just to lose it again

And continue the pursuit of a blissful spirit till our bones begin to rust

For in the end it shall be known to all that in the Universe we trust.
