Lying on my back bare skin again wet grass I almost shudder at your touch so far above me that I have to arch my neck to take you in my full view my eyes open wide absorbing your light as you seem to glare right through me making me feel naked though I have hidden myself as always And I panic feeling your gaze peeling away the layers one by one so slowly and rhythmically that it feels almost trance-like and though I try to break myself from your stare I lie in awe of your massive power as the magnitude of the heavens almost drowns out my meager existence And in that moment my tears of sorrow turn to tears of happiness as thoughts of battles unconquered and problems never solved flow freely from the tough casing that houses my spirit and I stand in awe of life, itself each breath a precious gift every thought, movement worthwhile and intended and though I feel so small it is only through lying here, staring up at you that I finally regain my power
Reason for writing:
It really is true...when you lie down under the stars...
just you, your thoughts and the massive universe staring down
at you...you feel so small...sometimes this is all you need
to remember what is truly important in life...
