Stars

Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still.

And a heaven full of stars
Over my head
White and topaz
And misty red.

Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex on time;

Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Surely and still.

And I know that I
Am honoured to be
witness
of so much majesty

Sara Teasdale

Within this extensive universe, we are very insignificant in comparison to the greater scheme of things. WE can only see things in the proper perspective when we step back to see how small we actually are.
