In the ever present dying light
Of another evening come to pass
Under the last glow of the setting sun
We find ourselves in the wondrous vision
Of the grand scheme of it all
Watching as the clouds change
From white to pink to yellow to blue
And the hush falls
The sky opens up to the darkness
And one by one distant stars and planets appear
Reminding us yet again of the vast infinite
That we swirl around
The troubles of the day are dashed upon
Distant light that has travelled at times
As ancient as us
When the curtain has been drawn back
We are exposed to the majesty
Tiny vessels born up from vast womb of the universe
Placed upon this spot to bear witness
To ourselves in all our forms
And the eloquent poetry of life
Unfolds for us like a flower greeting the sun
When we think on this awe
A tendril of the universe reaches down
And connects with us between the dark
And we communicate with one mind
As we all are one
From rock, to tree, to human, to star
And we ebb and flow between time
