I Saw the Universe
I can see the cerulean blue of the skies Or the indigo of the night I can see the stars wink, the grin of the moon During the changes of it's monthly face ** I am in awe ** I see the sun on it's annual trek Alternately awakening the life in the earth And then fading away to allow it to sleep Until the next spring ** I am told the Universe is "out there" Beyond those stars, moon and sun, Yet the power of what I can see Is a fathoming beyond my comprehension ** I am in awe ** "Out there" no time, no seasons pass No sense of age, hatred or loss exist Only the infinity 0f the Universe ** What IS "out there"? What IS the Universe that has no end? What IS the power that creates all this? I want to see it too ** And then I remember..... ** I saw it once, this gift of glimpse In the eyes of a granddaughter five minutes old As I held her to my heart and gazed Into the depths of eternal wisdom and love ** It was but a moment Before the bonds of her earthly body Began to pull her To her purpose of this lifetime ** But from that instant I knew The Universe is everywhere Love exists Each one of us carries The Universe in our soul ** It is not "out there, but "in here" And can be glimpsed in the Eyes of a newly born child As she shares the messsage she brings of Universal Love. ** I am in awe ******** Lynn Moore is a Life Coach specializing in personal empowerment.
