Comprehend

Of the millions
Of stars out there
Expanding,
Stretching time,
Described by numbers
That mesmerise-
Larger than the
Universal Container
Of all comprehension
And light-

Near one, are cares!

Of the billions
Of cares on there-
Nothing but Nothing
Compares, in a
Pivotal moment,
To a single one’s
Despair!

I'm always mesmerized by stars,and there is always that star that somehow shines brighter,whenever I am in my own despair,whenever I can't see that comprehension of light,somehow that star always find its way to me,and somehow in that vast black universe,if it doesn't sparkle,it twinkles,its all about believing,I love the way you comprehend your verse Mr Byrne :)C.C.
