Thinking about the vastness of space
makes one realize how insignificant
life can be.
Detachment from this wider perspective results in a temporary loss of realization
as small everyday concerns can drain the happiness
from this very brief existence.
Stepping back with a sigh of relief,
Nothing matters while staring up at the stars.
All here together for the time being,
a thought that brings reassuring melancholy.

Nothing matters while staring up at the stars.
All here together for the time being,
