Life Came to Me

By Glyn Dowden

Many years ago I visited the Smithsonian Planetarium. As I sat there, gazing up into the heavens I was overwhelmed by the wonder, the grandeur, the magnificence of this mysterious creation moving away from me. And, for the first time I realized just how infinitesimal we are and how short a lifetime we have on this earth. Relative to the universe it is astonishing how blindingly brief our lives and even the insignificant existence of the whole human race is, when compared to the infinite depth and breadth of space. In fact, our life is so brief that on a universal level it must be like the splutter of a candle or the intake of a breath. Now as I come closer to the end of this experience called life, as my body creaks like a stem bending, and twisted petals fall ready for winter, it is with humility and ignorance that I present this collection of self-expressions called poems.
