Infinity And Dust Poem by Gary Fellows

What a wonderful world
But how many of us really know
Or understand the magnitude
Of time and of change
To arrive where we are
Of concepts so strange

The blink of an eye
Compares to many a year
Analogous of the time
That we have been around
We small blind entities
The odds against abound

So tiny this planet
Within a small star
Of a galaxy we float
Of billions there are
In such a massive space
Even time is too far

Inconceivable to those
Without a free mind
Who cannot see our place
Of we, the human race
Where we fit in with time
Where we sit within space

Is there anyone out there?
Are we here all alone?
This we may not know
Possibilities so vast
But could we ever meet up
Ever travel that fast
