The Blue Ball Spins

the blue ball spins
hold on
spinning and speeding through space
light, dark
dark, light
winter snow
summer heat
spinning and speeding
dusty desert drought
slick mountain ski runs
sloshing oceans roll
in graceful rhythm
through galaxies
and gatherings of angels
the blue ball spins
into the deepest darkness
where it will collide with 
cosmic mysteries
to explode into 
fragments of
new beginning
again
hold on
