Night Sky 2

Continents of stars, infinite

stars…Yet I will not bow down

to them.  Instead I will stand in grandeur

like the silver maples whispering

along a favorite path

 

and arch out my limbs

to gather up their lights in the basket

of my mind.

 

The stars are as alive in their

rambles as I am beneath their

sharp glories.  We are shining


together, we are bioluminescent

in this pregnant night where

no questions curdle about if I matter

or not.
