POETRY 30/30 | #4: "THE UNIVERSE'S CHILDREN"

"The Universe’s Children"
By Larry J. Knight, Jr.

We are the sons and daughters of stars,
together in the black tapestry of space,
wandering, searching for causes
that define our existence.
To us, life is coupled
with a certain mendacity;
it prevents us from acquiring truth.
Knowing this,
understanding our place
among the dying pinpoints of light,
we resort to time honored customs,
deciding on whims made from air
and opt to stitch patterns
crafted from a thread spool of folly...
