Eternity will have to wait

I awoke this morning
with my head full of stars.
I had dreamt of the universe
expanding
filled with the light of the stars
reaching us
eternity without end.

I tried to keep those stars in my head
as I drank my morning coffee.

My mind wandered.
Today is Monday.
Monday is bread day
and I have a dough that was rising all night
as I dreamt
and the ether of the universe sighed.
That dough needs me now.

I put my coffee down and my dreams aside
and went to work.
A bit more flour in, mix,
pull the dough into a living thing
feel it change as my hands
mold the chaos of the dough before me into loaves,
food for us here at the cabin,

that cabin
spinning amongst the stars.

Time for the loaves to rise.
I pause, prepare to recapture the universe
its stars and their light.

But no man is an island.
The boys have woken
and they’re going for their morning swim
and want me to join them.

The stars, the universe, the bread, the boys,
everything has its time and its place.
For now
eternity
will just have to wait.
