The Loneliness Of The Universe Is Too Vast For Me To Comprehend Poem by Shalom Freedman
The Loneliness Of The Universe Is Too Vast For Me To Comprehend
THE LONELINESS OF THE UNIVERSE IS TOO VAST FOR ME TO COMPREHEND
However vast I feel my own loneliness to be
The loneliness of the universe is too vast for me to comprehend
For am I however great in exaggeration to myself
Still a small interval in all that was and will be-
No the Universe's Loneliness is immensities beyond mine
And its empty distances
And its absences of human voice
And its violent happenings
So beyond all I can sense and feel
That its Loneliness is not perceivable - is somehow truly inconceivable to me.

Thoughtfully composed with a sober realization that no matter how alone one is it is a meaningless plea to the face of the vast scope of the universe. I am interested in the fallowing lines For am I however great in exaggeration to myself Still a small interval in all that was and will be- I see this as a positive affirmation that no matter how inevitable things are, he fact that what we do still makes a small ripple to everything that flows, or at least that's how I choose to interpret it, Still a great work.
