If We Look At The World As Though

If We Look At The World As Though

If we look at the world as though

It is by chance that we are here,

That it just happens to be so

Then in the middle of nowhere

Amidst a boundless time and space

The world is insignificant,

Where nothing really has its place

For all its limitless extent.

Thank Heaven it is not that way.

But we have limits that are drawn

To our lives by Night and Day.

For we have dusk and we have dawn

And we have sunrise and sunset

And we have birth and we have death

And air to breathe lest we forget

To take in and let out a breath.
