Coalescence

I stood alone listening

to the silence of the oblivion.

I heard a gentle breeze

whisper the secrets of the universe

to the quivering leaves.

Grey clouds slowly parted,

to let faint rays of moonlight

diffuse into the warm air of the summer night.

A milky moon gazed down

on the sleepy landscape.

Then, suddenly, in a transient instant

the infinite space

coalesced to a single point.

So, I grasped the entire universe

inside the palm of my hand.
