OriginalRhyku,
I really love haiku. They are such a challenge!
I like the moment, the smallness and simultaneous vastness of everything, that you've captured with this one.
If I could make a tiny suggest for such tiny poems as these, it might be a single syllable: "Speck of Universe" instead of "in". I think it would give us a since of belonging to the universe, not just being in it. What do you think? It's amazing how one little word in such a brief form of poetry can chance the meaning. That's what I love about the form. You have to be so careful and precise with every syllable to do well.

I agree with your suggestion and have corrected the Rhyku
We are increasingly living in times where we are full of ourselves but we are invisible to others full of themselves. A selfie for the selfish so as to speak.
Remark
Thanks for your wishes.
It is beautiful.
and so true.
We are nothing more than a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud floating endlessly in the cosmos.
Welcome to NeoPoet.

Thanks. Kelsey also deserves credit for her suggestion to enhance this Rhyku.
