Painted

Another poem I wrote. Lately I have been feeling particularly creative. I'm trying to use the time to really make things I can be proud of. Any critiques are very welcome.

Life and love are universal in nature

Completely random and unpredictable

Subatomic particles trek through time and space

Until they meet in an explosion of events

That are your life

Where once was void

A vacuum inside

There is now energy

Exploding in all directions

Though grand in observation,

Completely unattainable

I feel the cosmic radiation

That is your love

You are a twinkle of a star

Painted on the nights sky

Misleading and wonderful you are,

You share a glimpse into a universe unknown to me;

Make me feel near, safe, loved…

When in truth you are bigger

Much bigger then I’ll ever be

And farther

Much farther then I’ll ever go

Still…

Every night I look into your twinkling face

Miniscule in comparison,

I give my heart to your night’s sky

So I too may be part of something larger

Much larger then I

Like my heart

The universe constantly expands,

And my expanding heart will always have room for you

For now though,

My eyelids drift south

And I say unto you

Goodnight my expanding universe

My distant sun

My twinkling star

I’ll see you tomorrow night

Painted in perfection as you always are
