the universe
it echoes–
reverberates in mind;
amazement sits,
emotion bellows
and peace is clear in sight
this life we live
is full of wonder–
to see it passing by
in the simple smile
of a friend–
or the song birds flying high
of all the things I've wondered
and all the things I've learned
nothing does compare to this
perspective that I've earned
a final thought
before the end:
don't fear what lies beyond…
but face the day
with hope and grace–
and see the light therein
