Starry Sonnet

As guideposts in the sky to light the way the heavens’ stars assist our human sight. Big Dipper asterism holds its sway in northern Ursa Major shining bright. When sets the evening sun on earthly cares, the darkest nights with stellar beams will glow, regardless of terrestrial affairs, in spectacle of grand celestial show. But time will tell and truth be told at last once all is reckoned from our mortal lives what future we’ll create from troubled past to be recorded in the vast archives. For constant stars above seem not to mind the vagaries below of humankind. ~ Harley White

A pleasant coolness of this verse made me think that big distances between us and stars is a good thing. Infinity dislikes human warmth.
