On the edge of your perception <br />something stirs. <br />You can feel it in motion. <br />Its light has travelled far, <br />but not yet reached you. <br />You know all in your heart, <br />it pulses and races to meet fate. <br />So very far in space <br />and yet no distance separates. <br />It sings praise and <br />vibrating space <br />its song is with you now <br />long before its face. <br />The universe that rests <br />in your mind, <br />and breathes with your breath <br />and borrows your light. <br />It is racing to join with you again. <br />And when it reunites <br />It will rest, <br />and the universe <br />will sleep, <br />it will be night<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-big-sleep/
