Universe’s Lost Love

Janet Kuypers
1/13/21

So science explains
that when an object is far enough away
in our Universe...

since the Universe expands,
nothing from that now far away object
can ever reach us

even at the speed of light

So it is only now
that I have been forced to contemplate
my now lost love

what we once had
it was spectacular, it was everything —
the Universe to me

now gone in the blink of an eye

Now            apart so long,
I know that whatever my lost love does
will never reach me again

even at the speed of light
