Stars of Clarity

Stars of Clarity


It's a mysterious nonmystery.
As I contemplate numberless
stars with the same mind
that counts out my correct change
at the checkout stand at the supermarket
I am baffled by the mathematical infinity, 
An expanse of beauty I see
and yet I do not feel alone or distant.
There is something right on the outskirts
of the soul that suggests stars of clarity 
and lets me know I am in some way more a beloved brother
than rejected outlander 
to these living rotating masses of hydrogen and helium.
So glad you are here to hold my hand.
