At Last

by Jody Pratt

This is it, the edge of the Universe.
We passed all the stars,
all of them.
No asteroid, rock or speck of dust
has tread this path.
Look back, can you see... nothing, right?
We've gone so far past the brink
that the Universe is out of sight.

Do you feel empty or accomplished?

We did it together you know;
explored everything. There's nothing left.
I even moved time back and forth,
from before the beginning until
after all the possible ends.
I saw what you saw, and felt it. All of it.
All the ways the Universe could have done it.

Are you satisfied?

Jody I wanted to tell you I really enjoyed this. As far as feedback goes I'm not sure what to offer but I just wanted to tell you I liked it.

What a thoughtful poem. I was going to rate it but then the program told I already had. It asked me if I wanted to edit my rating. I clicked in the button, "no." Keep it up.
