Stargazing

Surrender.
Peer into the
vast
vast
black night
and wonder:
Here pinpoints in the heavens
There giant fiery suns
The oldest sight seen on Earth
arriving constantly

What is keeping you?
Seek.
The depths await
Your curiosity -
one mind, one being,
on one planet around one star
hurtling through one galaxy
in ignorance

Yet,
precious is that one life,
unique that awareness
marveling out into the
expanse
of the universe.

Sunday

Light
strolling in from summer afternoon
through veiled curtains
radiates a peace unknown

Music
tumbling over itself
rippling as a river
joyous as he who plays it

Grin
the irresistable affection
for all these, the family
sparkling in her eyes

Laughter
they can't contain it any longer
it's dancing on their faces
undaunted

by the hush
of church on Sunday
