Cosmologies

Think of it this way
as you gaze at the stars
a universe full of dead time
the light observed
from sources long gone

Think of the earth
as it enters the mind
the mind as it enters the earth
and the concept of one
that differs from another

Think of time
as a single stretch
from beginning to end
and the light travelling
through it and through
all things

Time as it passes
through the mind
the mind as it passes
through time
Think of it

And think of love
in the great scheme
of things
as it enters the body
through the mind

the stretch of it
from beginning to end
the ups and the downs
and the happily
ever after
