When you look above to the sky at night what do you see?

I see the vast darkness broken by just chinks of light that peep through, its almost as if there is a large dark blanket pulled over the top of the world with the lights above still shining bright behind it. Or is it like the Truman show where its just the lights within the studio that life is filmed within!

The other feeling I get when Looking out is total awe of how endless and vast even just our galaxy is, and thats just counting our galaxy within a multitude of them we have an ever-expanding universe (I’m never quite sure what its expanding into) that contains our galaxy and countless others like and dislike our own.

It helps me put into perspective life’s problems when I look up and think of what these problems really are, the thoughts of one human upon a huge rock hurtling through space and time at a ridiculous speed around a galaxy that is incomprehensibly sized within a universe beyond measure, why worry about the little things when you think how little we are, are our problems too minute to cause undue worry?

The night sky

like a siren calls to me

Beyond the city hue

With light pollution that saps the soul

and keeps the birds up at night too

tweeting away like the humans do now

Unable to sleep

What happened to the old night sky

The one of only a hundred years ago

When the world was not aglow

With the light of a thousands suns

When we all should be in bed

I wish only to rest my head in the dark sky

with the stars as my night light

not the bright Led of the streetlamp outside my window

oh the siren calls to me

lay me upon the grass and let me stare upon the stars

Let me see their secrets

As they surely see ours.
