Transfixed

We are fortunate to know the hows
of the universe, the science of most
while still being wholly astonished
by its beauty and mystery and whys
of a universe that presents
itself to our senses, to our minds
and lives in our hearts and souls
along with bright and dark energy
and time and space warping black holes.
We are one with this world,
we are the stuff of stardust.

This world gives us life and so we
must be kind to our mother
who bore us to moments
of insight and beauty
that leave us amazed
and transfixed as we
gaze upon the countenance
of this universe
with still no meaning found
just many more questions
and entropy of words abound.
