Center of the Universe

Staring at an evening sunset,
searching for that global origin.
That mystery, faded by gleaning inward
its boundaries of brilliant light…

Stewards of its blight…

Echoed voices singing in high
a pitched tone bounding off a golden horizon.
Mesmerizing, moving the warmed air aside
cracking the ceiling of the gray-blue sky…

Guardian of its magnetic cry…    

Sweeping fingers of purple clouds whisk by
touching a smooth surface of earth and sky.
Hydroplanes of light tempting imagination
knowing where the center must lie…

Pointing to its constellation’s center, you and I…

Yet the envelope of time is jester of our try
to be creator of what we see with a blinded eye.
Silver tongued unfathomable seekers of truth
yet last, in our learned race against time…

That ball of music is its center, yours and mine,
and all of mankind…

The brightest of the light we could understand
yet the center of all the constellations is its shine.
The very center of that sunset is in our mind
center of the universe, is ours to find…

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
