A Vast Spectrum

 

I see what others write,

I hear what they say.

I learn about the human race,

But believe in living life my way.

In all of life,

No two the same.

So much alike,

But different we remain.

All the world conceived,

More or less, in rhyme.

Man has been given dominance

Over creatures of his time,

So respect all different life,

It’s a part of what we are.

We’re a giant to an atom,

Yet unseen by another star.

Don’t believe the atom is the smallest,

Or there’s only a trillion lights afar.

Every star is an atom,

Every atom is a star.

Life goes on endlessly,

No matter which way we’ve gazed.

Every world another world,

If you let yourself be amazed.
