David Taylor - Contentment

Far far away in a distant galaxy..........
In a spiralling arm of love
A swirling cloud of atoms
loosely called a gas
through attraction of nature
and with no hidden intent
other than that which
is inherent in universal law
seeks to coalesce
and shine brightly
in the firmament.
And when its very first flash of light
traverses the vastness of space
will there be anyone
to witness that sight
a million light years hence?
I raise my awareness into the sky
look into the darkness
and wonder, and smile.
