We pray for salvation
To a Supreme Being
We hope exists.
But how is God possible
In an infinite number of infinite multiverses
Lasting forever?
We find our God
(We think)
Only to discover there is a Bigger One.
Then another!
Beyond is followed by beyond
Age by age by age
Light year by light year
Never ending.
Due reverence to every god,
But does each god have a god in turn?
Something tells me there are bound to be
Greater powers and intellects than us.
Yet, as the proverb says
We are all in the same boat:
A ship that sails a boundless ocean
Of space and time.
We can steam ahead
In a straight line
Only to eventually find ourselves
Back where we began.
All of us are lost.
But the good news is:
We are all lost together.

As my friends would say, another "deep one". ;)
