Universal inspiration

The universe is random
It flows with whatever comes
with whatever comes in times long passage
It does no argueing or bickering
It does not hate or scheme
It is totally free
I admire its patience
Its iron hard will
which people may love one moment
then hate the next
It contains so many things
The beuatiful, the ugly
the bad and the good
things so wonderous and pretty
they bring tears to your eyes
It is like a person
who is simple
but cloaked in mystery and secrets
who demands nothing of you
but gives you the gifts of life
It is so vast
and I, so small
Yet it gives me
universal inspiration
