Void
Shirley Maiewski
The void
Black Silent
Endless void.
No sound no breath of wind
Empty bottomless void
But wait there look there!
A light dim trembling a light!
It grows enlarges moves
Expands breaks it swirls turns extends
Sweeps out and on! Now there another still
More! Giant immense spiral of lights
Galaxies! The universe . . . !
But still around beyond the void
Black silent
Endless . . .
Void.
