Matthew Anish Poet Ballad

Dreaming In the Shadows

In the hear from the
   newest star 
We find our truth 
Bright rays cut though 
the clouds, warm the land
keep the plants growing. keep the land alive
We are dreaming in the sunlight
Tasting the power of the universe with 
every breath 
Small beings on a small blue orb 
How much do we matter in the cosmic scheme?
The sun answers that question 
It allows us to live 
and it will keep us warm 
As long as it continues to shine 
we can feel that we have a role to play 
We can feel that our lives 
are more than a watch in the night
