Axis

The sky at midnight
same as any other time...
the earth moves us all.

Looking up makes me feel small but not in a bad way. It makes me appreciate being part of something so magnificent.

I get the same feeling lying on the ground looking up at the stars...my brother and I used to spend entire summer nights watching stars and feeling the universe tingle....nice share, Harry

Enjoyable hsiku! We are all stuck - for the time being - on this blue orb. Let's make the best of it with wine, woman, song - and poetry. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
