This Universe Poem by Marieta Maglas

This Universe

Rating: 4.9


I want to describe this universe.
I want to say that I found it useless,
More useless than the hidden green
In the fecundity
Of those flowers without petals,
More frightening
Than a snake
Uselessly writhing
Near the petrified image
Of the Medusa,
And more painful
Than any frightening funeral kiss,
But much higher
Than my thirst for knowledge,
And much deeper than
The whole ignorance,
And much more profound than
The whole existence,
And much more real than
All the truths I know,
But never much brighter than
The Divine Knowledge,
And never missing
Much more happiness than
This sadness misses.
And never much more fundamental
Than love.
