Within

Within

A Poem by J Schwenk
"

Beautiful soul, beautiful life, beautiful you-niverse.

"

Stretched my hands outward

Hoping to catch the tiniest glimpse of desire

My palm facing upwards

Open

Nothing fell

My hand is empty

The beautiful universe surrounding me

Blue and purple in colour

Thousands of tiny gold droplets

Embrodiered the beautiful canvas

Planets aligned the universe

Thousands of things made of atoms

Atoms are composed of nothing

Look at the planets and stars

Baby

Look all around you

The universe stretches on and on

The world is like a painting

Palm facing upwards

Still

Nothing was there

But look around you

Everything is there

Everything you could possibly want

Is right there

Closed

My hand is full.
