Vast
Oceans are vast breaking toward a shore
Harbors for sealife, both timid and brave
Sun is stolen by sea: tales in folklore
sunsets seem to melt into ocean's waves.
A stark vastness in deserts robed in sand
Vicinity where mind tags dreams for play
teasing of waterholes, though none at hand
Shadows stretching far, chasing end of day
The universe, full of planets and stars
As we've flown its vastness, we've become tall
Though little of wonders seen from afar
for Earth is remote, a blue ball, and small
Dwelling beneath our temperamental skies
smiling one day, the next, storms are forming
But their showers are a welcome surprise
Skies endlessly vast, sunny or storming
The living mind, scientists find, is vast
its depth uncharted, but this they now know:
we're all one, and there should be no outcast,
The edges of hope, beginning to show.
