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.
