WHAT IS THE MEANING OF

What is the meaning of my life?

you ask, and another,

What is the meaning of the universe?

You both ask for an explanation,

a reason why things

have come into being,

why they matter now

and some goal
their continued existence
reaches for.

You want a reason

outside your own existence,

outside this universe in which you exist.

Some great reason on another brane

to give meaning to this all.

Yet meaning is in the things themselves,

as long as they exist.

Existence is meaning,

and explanation? Biology and physics,

with sprinkle of mystery.

You, this being in time and space,

create meaning through your existence.

There is no greater arc,

pre-ordained for you to follow.

There is no map but the one

you draw as you go through

the universe.

Universe whose meaning 

is in its existence; two things,

one sheltered in another which

it's part of it, and the other

observing its greater self,

drawing maps on human joys

and sorrows, of stars clusters and

super-clusters of galaxies.

Both have meaning

in their existence,

bound, and none

beyond the ripples

in matter, space and time

which that existence creates.
