Sitting with Stars

I sit with the stars

To remind me

Of the difference between long

And short

And old

and young

And that even things that look alive

sparkle and shine

Are already gone

And everything dies

And the vast

And the small

Will come to us all

Because these things

I forget sometimes

  1. it’s so humbling to realize how the stars are a derivative measure of – not only time – but the sheer depth and meaning of it. at some point in this universe, as before, time will not even matter. indeed “the vast and the small will come to us all”. loved this Kate.
