Cosmic Questions

Doubts and queries: cosmic all:

Mathematic, philosophic, chemical,

Prophecy and apple pie:

Apply

To all our days and time;

In mind inside, unclassified:

Cosmic questions:

Why, when, where,

How big, how far;

Start, peak and close –

The whole shebang* – it interests us.

We are concerned.

We hope and pray.

We need to pry.

Obfuscation to elucidation.

Night to light.

Every question in the sky

Contains a micro- simile,

A macrocosmic covenant;

Our first connection.

That’s the answer to the question.

*the whole shebang an idiom for the whole affair; entire thing.
