May 20th Between the stars

 

May 20^th  Between the stars

 

There’s nothing between the stars.

Only space, and space and darkness.

Dark, indescribable infinite wastes of nothing.

Solar systems whirling about,

Each other dancing in synchronised movement.

And then infinite wastes of nothing.

We are so insignificant compared with the vastness of space;

That we cannot imagine.

 

But.

 

We do.

 

And we understand.

We understand about mathematics and theory; cosmology and astronomy, dynamics and time.

And matter.

 

There is not

Just space between the stars.

There is matter.

Dark.
