You know you’re a universe, right?
Hmm?
There are more stars in the galaxy than all the grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth.
And there are more atoms in one grain of sand than all the stars in the galaxy.
I had been happily somnambulant and had been jerked out of my reverie
by this passerby.
Do I know I’m a what?
A universe.
Oh…Yes I do…I had forgotten. So what of it?
Doesn’t that seem profound to you?
Do I know you? What do you want.
You named me Severus, remember?
OH YES! It’s been a while.
He stared at me intently, as if through a cheap telescope
and scraped the ground at my feet.
What do you intend?
Well I was in the middle of a neat dream
but I’ve forgotten it now.
He smiled and I realized how much I had missed him.
He took my arm and we strolled…honest to god
strolled along the park path
and stopped to admire the pond
with its infinite breathing living dying
birthing killing changing in dynamic and miraculous ways
I couldn’t breathe it was so incredible.
I felt the suns light waves blast against my skin
the air molecules bombarded me
I was being renewed and destroyed and renewed again
in the span of a second
I was a vibration on a heavenly guitar
waiting for the string to stop pulsing
I was alive inside an infinite life
I was exalted, sweating and heaving of breath.
He turned and looked at me with amusement
I swear he looked just like Leonard Cohen and said
we should do this more often.

Please forgive me for laughing in concluding, but perhaps blame it on my alleged dry sense of humor. Tell me there wasn’t a subtle thread of humor waltzing through your lines. It was that those last two lines which caught me up short and culled laughter when I was intently trying to cipher what was. Thank you for sharing.
you’re on to me…;) thanks for reading and your feedback
honestly, i don’t know what to say, but not because i don’t have much to say, but because there’s too much… this was quite a journey for me.. & because i believe there’s much more behind this than i can understand, i can only thank you for this experience 🙂
thank YOU for your feedback…it’s life blood for me
