A beautiful night sky,

the stars twinkling in your eyes

 the moon reflecting off of them.

You have to wonder, 

who or what was here before you, 

looking up at the sky and the same star you’re watching now,

the same moon you’re watching now.

 You wonder about the history of the galaxy above you.

The stars gleaming in their brilliance, 

twinkling up above, taunting you with their light. 

They have the power that you wish you had.

Seeing a tree, mountain, or even a boulder 

makes you realize how small you really are.

Just a small human being in this vast infinite universe. 

Take a walk, shut your mouth and open your ears and eyes. 

Look up, look around, see what you find.

The tall mountains across the creek,

 the waterfall with the fish at the bottom,

 the crickets in the tall grass that sways.

The world is vast, big, bright, and beautiful.

A one in a million chance that you’re there looking at it, 

here and now, in this moment. 

This is home.
