Bewilderment and Bliss

image by Gab-Rysia

The unmapped cosmos calls
and whee, I’m off,
gleefully accepting each invitation.

So vast I am!
And infinitesimal too.
It’s no wonder I get lost
in the many worlds
to which I belong.

I’m everywhere, and of course,
nowhere to be found.
Astray in interstellar space,

or taken completely up
in an ivory chalice of gladiola,
or riding the wind like a leaf,
How grateful I am to bear
this bewilderment and bliss.
