walking

far into the meadow

until grass was all I could see

i fell upon it

like a bed

its soft touch lifted

and held me

my eyes traversed the deep blue sky

and saw past earth

to forever

no clouds marred this new perspective

to put the universe in place

mathematical equations

meant nothing

in this void of blue

as I contemplated heaven

and considered

my own small role

theories were born

and drowned

in the kitten sack of knowledge

i was left

with only one truth

i would always be asking:

why?
