Excursions into the Unknown

Within my fragile body
Lives the smithy of my soul,
In its unique song and verse
It ranges far and wide
Throughout the universe
And every local place,
Integral part of the common
Consciousness of our race,
My mind does all the heavens,
Stars and worlds embrace,
I am but part of the big cosmos
Cell of all creation,
Each man, each mind, each cell
Exists in correlation,
Within the infinite circle
Of time and space we move,
Each man in that big disk
Just one little groove,
Combined we make the
Glorious music of the spheres,
This universal song of life
Which every being hears,
And in the same circle
The record turns round and round,
Through all eternity we listen
To its haunting sound,
While all things in the curve
Of time and space
Repeat themselves, always
Returning to the same old place,
For all in this universe moves
To the same rhythm and tune
In unison, be it the earth,
The stars, the sun, the moon,
Today the atoms may form
A man of flesh and bone,
Eons from now, they maybe part
Of stardust or of stone,
But as eternal time makes
The circle of events complete,
All which exists or has ever been
Will then repeat......
