Limitless

I know the science

Some billions of years ago
the universe erupted into being
and some billions of years from now
the Sun will explode in a minor nova
and many trillions of years later
all the stars will go dark

But lying on this blanket
in some unsuspecting farmer’s field
watching Perseid meteors
flare across the August sky
it all seems so
limitless

When I hold your hand

(For today’s Living Poetry Prompt.)
