Infinite Space

an emptiness flows through the universe
as long as it is wide and as deep as it is
broad on all sides...  it is an atmosphere
of light, sound, and darkness without
the elements needed to sustain life and
yet there is life all around it....  stars,
planets, and asteroids fly by at the 
speed of light as if going somewhere,
but there is not destination to their
travels in an endless amount of space;
dark matter and dark energy collide
routinely as if gusts of turbulence has
pushed them together and through
them all things pass, moving by the
force of gravity that pulls them in
or rejects them...  a mighty spectacle
that is infinite in scope, persistent in
the way it creates form and shape 
and relentless in the way that it
never ceases to be there...  place
and time expanding and its edges
reach out and touch its origins in
a vain attempt to see if it is still
there since the vacuum of space
always hides what we want to see.
