Today’s word is “extra mundane” ... beyond our world or the material universe. (Dictionary.com)
Overwhelmed
With knowledge his head became
So large, it rose into the sky,
He’d been asking pointed questions,
The most annoying, “why?”
He floated past the moon,
Sighting in on the planet Mars,
From there he planned his trip,
To find the furthest star.
It was dazzling and outrageous,
How the spirals came and went,
At times it was even dangerous,
As time itself was bent.
But all he found was more,
Unending galactic wonders,
This extramundane journey,
He pondered, might have been a blunder.
Forever he did wander,
Through countless worlds unknown,
Starry-eyed and speechless,
Amazed and all alone.
