The story of a night
The story of a night
Standing cold toed
on a mountainside.
Above played out a grand narrative
of stars and light
and millennia.
The Milky Way bound us all together
Centuries of time.
A moment in forever.
Meteorites came and went.
Bright flashes of joy
or maybe a sigh.
The stars carried on their business.
treading paths they travelled every night.
Order in the cosmos.
order in the world.
Cold toes were forgotten
in this wonder above.
