Stargazing

Stars dot the midnight sky

A cool breeze through my hair

A star shoots across

Another follows

A game of cosmic tag

To hold my

Fancy

Two eyes dart across the universe

One mind trying to keep count

But isn't that what life is all about

Even if failure seems eminent

You keep going just like

That

Lightning bugs slowly paint the air

Their light bringing a lovely glow

an attention diverted to the wonder of

Life

So many things coming together as one

Astronomical odds resulting in us all

From the lightning bugs to me

All that was and all that

Is

Some may think these fancies are

Far too advanced for someone my age

The pondering of life depresses some

All it does is fascinate me

The wonders of life are all, well,

Wonderful
