I ventured outward that day
I was so cranked up
found myself wandering haphazardly
around the cosmos
contentedly I did roam
absorbing secrets of the ageless
Milky Way
and the exploding supernovas
where conceptual reality
expanded my mind
even a soul I never knew I’d possessed
this mind trip gave me
astonishment
on an intellectual basis
I was not seeking anything spiritual
in my hitchhiking
of this, the full blown universe
why then
did I feel a hand on my shoulder

Huh? A hand on your shoulder. I think it's the Creator of this wonderful universe reminding or showing you again the marvels around and above you

Oh, this was a great journey, Jerry! You must have felt the Oneness with All There is ...

We are part of this Universe, this can't be denied, all the related mysteries will be unveiled probably on another level of existence.

I enjoyed this much.

I must admit that there was something within me as I wrote the poem that I could not describe. Maybe you hit on it with "the Oneness with All There is." I sorta feel comfortable. Thank you Margarita . . .

The bigger our experience becomes, the smaller we feel sometimes. This is when we need to know we aren't alone. Very nicely done.

Smiles,

Though basically I have pretty much been a loner kind of guy throughout my  life, Constance, I always relied on people, alive and not alive to  help me through my many struggles. Thank you very much for joining that group today.
