More Than Meets the Eye

Looking all around, I see nothing but black. 
Yet when I look down, I see a sliver of color. 
A sign that tells me there is hope of going back.
Surrounded by darkness, you keep me sane 
In a sea of debris, you keep me safe
Here you seem small, fragile
But take another look. 
You are bigger than anything I will ever see. 
Just a thin blue ribbon is all you seem to be,
But to me you are everything.
