Baa Baa

PINK SATURDAY

BAA BAA

(Go on! Sing it!)

Baa baa, pink sheep,

Someone dyed your wool,

It's quite rare

And colourful.

When we see you

How we blink!

We have never seen a sheep that's pink

A PASSING THOUGHT

When one looks out at the immensity of Space

One feels vulnerable

Unimportant,

Less than nothing.

I am inclined to think

That the Universe is a brain

And I am just a figment

Of its imagination.

*

Universal Uncertainty

UNIVERSAL UNCERTAINTY

Try to imagine

A Universe that has an end.

I can't.

Try to imagine

A Universe that has no end.

I can't.

*

Travel in your mind 

To the edge of a finite Universe.

Do you hit a wall?

Are we inside a sphere?

If you broke through the sphere

Would you find Nothingness?

What is Nothingness?

It is not Emptiness.

It is not Darkness.

It is not Blankness.

You cannot see it, or taste it, or smell it.

Because it is not there.

So how will you recognise it?

*
I cannot believe in it

Because I cannot imagine it.

*

Travel in your mind

Through the endlessness

Of an infinite Universe.

You think you understand

The words 'forever',

But can you really imagine

Passing planet upon planet

Out out out

For Ever?
*

I cannot believe in it

Because I cannot imagine it.

There are only two possibilities

And  I can't believe in either of them!

*

These are the thoughts of a child.

I thought these thoughts

Lying in my bed

With the sheet neatly folded under my chin.

'I'll understand when I'm old'

I thought.
*

But now I am old and I still don't understand.

So I never will.

I am going to die frustrated.
*

But then it wont matter.
*

Here is another wrestle with the cosmos!
