"And if by accident not by mistake"

Throughout the Velvet Universe Throughout the velvet universe tonight Infinite alien worlds wink awake Multifoliate stars bloom cold and bright And if by accident not by mistake Or maybe this is all inside of me What is outside might be just what is in This simulacrum of reality Might only be what I have mistaken For something unapproachable and high When it was just the I and not the sky Since I am unable to leave my head To see what is unshadowed by the skull I will live this life like a dream instead Where bright stars bloom so nights are never dull And tomorrow never comes anyway Where moons on oceans and emotions pull But never pull away and so I stay My half empty glass soon to be half full And if by accident not by mistake Multifoliate stars bloom cold and bright Infinite alien worlds wink awake Throughout the velvet universe tonight +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVIII

A beautiful write. Be not afraid to delve into the mysteries of the universe for thereby some have found God.
God Bless,

Absolutely stunning ~ I've said it before: I love how your mind works - how your spirit manifests through your words. I especially love:

"Might only be what I have mistaken
For something unapproachable and high
When it was just the I and not the sky"

Steven,
you dig and explore well once again, a fine search for what is or may be and could be, our roots, our home, our essential being, and in your words are wonder and reverence. This is very fine.
John
