Heavens Above
Quietly I view the nightly heavens above,
Hearing the beat of my heart amidst the twinkling darkness.
Entranced by the vastness and splendor I see.
Wondering what fascinations that await.
Streaks of lightly shaded colors dancing about in every known direction.
Chaos and destruction with a recognizable purpose.
A clash that forms a common spectacle.
Blinding brilliance that capture the scene.
Massive emptiness grasping forever's end.
Endless space a never ending dream.
The warmth of a new dawn causing covered eyes.
Pulled back to the place of origin.
Exhausted and weak from this recent journey.
I awake feeling refreshed ready to start over.
To quietly view the daily heavens above.
