Every life is a universe.
Look into a person's eyes
And you will get a glimpse into that realm
Inside each person is an infinity
Of light unimaginable
Of wonders unseen
Stars and planets will shake and collapse
But new bursts of light will erupt
Change will shape their universe
To take a life is to take a universe
What was unseen will never be seen
And what was unknown will never be known
Liked this one. I used to hate change but now realise that life IS about change. It's what you do with those changes. Thx for sharing
Raypool: Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
Cynthia: Thank you! Yes, I live in California, play music, and am in high school. Your words are very encouraging.
People like you two are what helps young writers like me to continue and improve. Thanks again. :)
After studying black holes a bit, I was inspired to write this poem. Surprisingly, I found that black holes are one of the least complex objects in space. I read that "black holes are certainly less complex than the human mind" and that lead me to wonder how amazing it is that a brain so small can be more complicated and less understood than a black hole light years away in outer space. This was also part of my inspiration for "Human Thought".
The heart, depth and searching mind of a poet are yours, Ali.
The California girl, right? Still a student? And musical?
HI : I am an old fella, but you appear young and I must say this is a very mature poem and so perceptive. There is more to it than meets the eye.... Super lines, enjoyed it.

Thank you Winston! Yes, it's true that change is necessary for everything to exist. Without change even in our lives, life would be boring and meaningless. There would be no growth. How we deal with change defines us.
