A smattering of stars
Strewn across the sky
Little pinpricks of light
Blinking in the soft night air
Planets and Moons
Suns and Stars
Constellations and Galaxies
Clustering together
Against the darkness between them
Light from far-off worlds
Light visible to us
Light visible to each other
Light the language of the universe
Light the conversation in the multiverse
And yet we stand here
Human Beings on this our planet Earth
Contemplating in the soft night air
Feeling large and powerful and in charge
Our hand is larger than those pinpricks of light
We hold up our hands and block out the light
And darkness swallows the night
Feeling small and insignificant and adrift
We are programmed to seek the light
And in this seeking we come ever closer
To understanding the true nature
Of the conversation of the multiverse
