Staring at the vast expanse above
The faint glows of stars peppered across an infinite darkness
I feel so knowledgeable yet know so little
But a grain of sand on a limitless beach
My imagination floats off...

Could I visit there one day
A pioneer exploring it
Could I one day walk amongst those mere specks of light
Discover the wonders of nature so far away
As I gaze at the stars is there someone gazing back?

Yet I barely know the ground in which I stand on
The place that I call home
Will I ever witness the local wonders
Megacities spawned from a dream decades back
Or even the wonders of my own home.

I switch my gaze to my hand
Millions of microorganisms swarming me
Do they dream of exploring the universe
Are they even aware of existence outside of me
Maybe we aren’t so different.

Until I snap out of it
My dream fizzles out like a flame
I remember I share this planet
And our dreams and wishes are the same
What’s the point in dreaming
When my existence has no purpose
Is there a presence up above scheming
Or will my existence end still worthless.
