Grasping At A Universe

“Grasping At A Universe”
 
I’m staring down into the well,
It’s rather deep tonight.
Grasping at a universe,
Searching for some insight.
 
What is the reason,
That we are here?
To learn determination,
Or fear?
 
Are we merely a flashing light?
A moment in time set to fade?
Or some meaningful experience?
Of the choices we have made?
 
Are we lasting?
More than a conscience?
Or just a heart beat,
Measured by science.
 
Am I somehow special,
Just me of the billions?
I doubt the chances,
Could be measured in millions.
 
I’m staring down into the well,
It’s rather deep tonight.
Grasping at a universe,
Searching for some insight.
