We are mere
children
of the void.
Specks on an
infinitesimally small
mote in limitless space.
Lost by size,
overlooked by indifference.
The stars will shine,
the planets will spin
regardless of our future.
We are children
who have a high opinion
of ourselves,
think we talk to God.
Presumptuous beyond belief.
Yet, we are children
on the verge of a pivot
of unimaginable
scope
into infinite knowledge
or total oblivion.
It all hangs on a thread.
Soon, it will be determine
if we all slide
into the depths
of non existence
with nor a sigh
from the universe,
or transform into the Seers,
watching the birth
of intelligence
on a galactic scale.
What a pivot indeed!
