"The Universe"

by James Chung

the Universe:
the single root where all diverges.
intangible, intriguing, infintile.
lustrous, meaningless stars;
livid, mysterious space;
lonesome, mercurial satellites:
seperated; beautiful -- together; absolute.
from where do You come?
were You made by a humble Hand?
or are You the One to whom we pray?
my answers reek with uncertainty.
the Truth vigilantly secured.
meaning contrived in man.
hope indispensible to man.
faith delivers common ground.
