What do I know about the world,

a lowly human,

and why should it matter?

The world is music and wonder,

singing to itself

jingles and lullabies,

and masterful symphonies.


Steeped in beauty, adoring itself.

A wellspring of miracles, 

shunning understanding.


Another loop around the sun

in an endlessly interconnected bundle 

of loops,

no two alike, but almost.


What an inscrutable wonder is the world,

that wraps itself around our beings

so we don’t get overwhelmed by its glory!
