Cosmos

The Cosmos:

Our most awesome Universe

Plus whatever lies Beyond

If there is anything.

A sky full of galaxies and stars.

Vast further

Than we can comprehend.

Born of The Big Bang

Allegedly

This Matter Explosion

We call “Universe” –

Eighty Billion Light Years

That we can see,

But more than Fourteen TRILLION Light Years

Across

They say.

All ranged in an orderly fashion,

Perhaps with the footprint of God.

Yet, just as wonderful,

Out in the Mexican Desert

And all down America way

There is a delicate tiny sunflower

Which comes in a range of colours

And is also named

“Cosmos”.

Think on this.

As The Universe spread its wings

After The Big Bang

So these “Cosmos” petals

Spring out

Offering their hands to the sky:

Tiny Cosmos flowers

Offering prayers

To The Cosmos.
