thirsting
for life in a universe devoid of sign
elusive
in this fastness eternities in length
vast
expanses of nothing with the stuff
of
life replete upon one magnificent diamond,
most
beautiful gem of the universe
holding
that we hopeful seek yet have never found
one
spark, one tiny, promising light,
would
be sufficient to prove us right
(but
could never prove the other wrong)
these
seeds of life they must be spread
far
and cast about upon distant worlds
unheard
and yet unseen, would we could
our
dreams would no more dream but live
in
a universe made smaller by the sharing
