MY UNIVERSE


I roam through the universe

And gather the broken stars

As I taste the sweet bitterness of life.

My home is this empty sky

Where I created myself and mine

And I see the bright darkness of love.

I am the source of life and love

For I, myself, have built this place

Of sad-faced moon and angry clouds.

I watch the ugly beauty of nature

And I pluck by the very roots

Every single flower and blade of grass.

The barren wasteland that is left

Belongs to me, for I have destroyed

The life and love and beauty I created.

My universe is gone, but still I remain.

I will begin again anew.

I will create a new universe with only

life...

and love...

and beauty!

copr. 1989 - Trinka Powers
