Ode To The Universe

 

Oh, omniscient one

far greater than I

one more nano-serving

of your infinite lie

 

What nature of knowing

have you to reveal

to the humble who play

to the hand that you deal

 

Dark souled chess master

and bearer of night

or signpost to wisdom

great presenter of light

 

Distantly directing

influencer of choice

the keeper of silence

most subconscious voice

 

We're intimate strangers

my cloud to your sky

while I do all I can

you will not tell me why

 

You're the knower of nothing

the blank careless stare

the fraudulent creation

always there and not there

 

But I cannot lay fault

nor curse at your feet

for you are just me

and it's time that we meet
