The Sunday Whirl presents twelve words for us to use in a creative writing piece.
This weeks words are:
jerk, void, breath, gap, vast, blinked, curling, sky, wish, wrap, edge, ever
The Galaxy
"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff.
We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
-- Carl Sagan
The Milky Way.
Four billion stars.
As you lie on the grass,
Looking up at the sky,
Consider just how vast
Our curling, swirling galaxy is.
You can, if you wish, ponder why
Our curling, swirling galaxy is.
The answer is elusive if you try.
No answer satisfies.
To wrap your mind around
A problem that has no edge,
No sensible beginning.
Be it found in a Big Bang
Or a diety’s breath,
A blink of creation
A jerk of the time-space fabric,
Filling the void—
Both have a credibility gap.
Will we ever know?
Does it really matter?
Theoretical physics
Is trumped by physical theories.
Live local. Hold what you know.
Hugs are real.

Sending. hug your way.
