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.
