 I peered closely into the delicate petals of a flower;

Tiny rows of ants were marching towards the little drops of nectar in the center;

Inches from my nose, but not so clear to my eyes.


I looked up to the skies at the setting sun,

A nectarine golden orange, 

Captured my sight and my heart 


In a matter of minutes, a million stars would rise,

A feast for my eyes

Yet light years apart;


It made me wonder, what was near

And what was far? 


Further than the stars and galaxies 

the horizon of what my eyes can see

What lies beyond

Extending to eternity?


I close my eyes

Open my mind

And in the sacred cave of my heart

Nearer than the nearest

I am infinity
