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.
