Another 2021 Poetry Art Night entry along with the painting “Visions of the Universe” by artist Paul Tibedeau. This version has been modified since the Exhibit.

Each one of us with our mind,

active and fertile,

may host

several thoughts each,

all at one time,

and feeling grand and pleased

we come to ponder on

eternity.

Then, do these notions flee,

or simply dissipate

to make room for such a concept,

so very great?

Our minds are stretched

and filled with awe.

Before this universe

so immense

each one of us is

so very

small.

Smaller still will we perceive to be

if we dare

to compare

this universe

against which we pale

not to our own

minds

but to the

mind

that made it all.
