A Poem About Nothing

A Poem About Nothing

by denny

The cosmos is a funny place
It’s really mostly empty space
Oh sure, there are those Galaxies
and all the cosmic oddities
with lots of nothing in between

The stars they think they are so great
Of how they learned to aggregate
forming pinwheels in the sky
but just between you and I
I’m fascinated by the void

’cause when you add up all that “stuff”
there simply ain’t enough
to hold the Universe together
so where’s the “magic tether”
that keeps it fixed in place?

They say it’s all that “emptiness”
that we all thought was “nothingness”
Dark matter is the clue
that forms the cosmic glue
and not those haughty stars

So when you gaze into the sky
and watch the twinkling stars go by
notice what’s in between
the stuff that’s never seen
’cause that’s where all the action is.
