Universe

The universe holds still
And everyone takes a deep breath
Just for a moment
There is still much to
Do

The night sky shows us many things
That we can only imagine
As we take a deep breath
And think about what we need to do 
Next

As the comet streaks past
With all of it's knowledge
Contained within
Our heads are down
Lost in our
Now
