The Universe

I am the trees that bend with the wind

The tide that breaks at the shore on a cool night

When you look up at the night sky and see stars glowing, that’s me

I am the sun that shines in the morning to remind you there’s a new day

I am the words whispered in back corners of bars

The glass shattered on the floor

The look between two people who haven’t met

I am the warmth you feel when his skin touches yours

That pulsing feeling in your chest pushing blood through your veins

I am the thoughts that creep in late at night

The strength you didn’t even know you had

I am the salt in a wound you don’t yet know how to heal

The peace you’ll feel when you finally get there

I am the last thing you see before your close your eyes

I am the journey you’ve walked your entire life

That infinite knowing you feel inside your bones

I am the universe
