The Universe

A Poem by bluesaturn

What if we
sat on the grass
looking at the stars tonight
our fingers intertwined

The universe inside my soul
The only place
I’ve ever felt home

There’s beauty in infinity
There’s more than sadness
behind your misery
there’s strength
in all your weakest days
there’s happiness
hidden behind all this pain

Let me be
just for a little while
let me breathe
just for a little while
let me live
just for a little while
like you and the universe
is everything that exists

hold on
to the idea
that peace is more
than just a fleeting wish
that it is
something that does exist

I want to
watch the ocean tides
sitting there alone at night
with nothing
but peace inside my mind

Let me be
just for a little while
let me breathe
just for a little while
let me live
just for a little while
like me and the universe
is everything that exists

I can feel
the grass beneath my skin
I can see the sky
painted in golden
and i can
feel
your hands
touching my skin

let me be
just for a little while
and maybe
one day
I’ll tell you about the time
when the universe inside of me
was all there was
to exist
