Wanting

Wanting




I stare into the depthless night,

at the star-stippling vastness, at the

universe hurtling beyond earthly sight,

an endless void ever expanding,

and though knowing myself to be

insignificant in the night

my heart fills with pride swelling

at the infinity of the mind’s might,

and yet, and yet,

a still shadow of doubt whispers,

where is

                               the wisdom?
