a tiny speck in the sky
in a fraction of the night sky
within the size of the extended palm
are over a million galaxies
many bigger than our own
milky way! Begs the question,
is there some form out there
that we know not,
or is it that the earth is unique
and is the only one inhabited by
life forms!
In that thought we perceive
this extraordinary sense of pride,
and perhaps a sense of responsibility,
that we need to love and care for
every creature on this precious planet.
What are we doing with this hatred
and destruction! The wars and deaths,
the heart aches and sufferings!
millions of galaxies, planets and orbits,
black holes, nebulas, trillions of
asteroids, yet- we are the only unique creatures
who can live, talk, love and perceive
the wonder of creation!
Why this meaningless rat race?
worthless conquests, and tireless
accumulation of material
wealth!
A single breath of fresh air
a vision of sunrise,
the glory of flocking geese,
mountains and rivers,
what can be more valuable than that!
Look up at the sky - we are a nonexistent spot,
on our galaxy which is just a blinking star!
in that reality is hidden the true meaning of
our lives! whenever you lose hope, from societal
challenges- Just look up at the sky
and wash away the impurities that
contaminate your true self.
