I turn my eyes upward
To gaze at the vast sea of stars
So many that they outnumber me by millions and billions and trillions
I am overwhelmed  
And taken over by beauty
I am entranced by the twinkling
Of bursts of energy in the night sky
I am humbled
All these stars
All this space
Make my problems seem insignificant in the
grand scheme of the universe
But then I remember
That I am a part of the universe
Albeit a minuscule role in an endless space
However, I am
Involved
Nonetheless
