Limitless


Even if we went beyond the bounds

Of space and time

We would see an infinite multiverse

Lasting forever.

 

For We are lost

So utterly lost

Amongst countless numbers

Of galaxies and stars.

 

Words cannot do justice

To this miraculous wonder.

Call it a cosmos

Or a universe

What you will

This black vastness

Is beyond human comprehension.

 

Our own little Earth

May well be replicated

Endless times:

Infinite numbers of rocky worlds

Orbiting their suns

In cosy Goldilocks zones.

 

Perhaps each universe explodes to life

Then fades

Like some Groundhog Super-Age

Lasting many trillions of years

Each Repeat.

 

But it matters not

As eternal infinity is time and space enough

For anything to happen.

 

And it matters not

Unless there is someone around

To witness and experience it all.

And that’s where We come in.

That’s our role.
