I've watched the stars.
Pondered their journeys through time and space. Wondered what they could tell me of the past.
I've stared at the moon. Locked in its ecliptic dance as it plays with our oceans, hearts, and minds.
The sun too has held me in a trance. Apollos burden radiating incessantly against its own eventual demise.
All of these things so beautifully elegant in their mysteries. Enrapturing the imaginations of mankind for thousands of years.
I close my eyes to their wonder, beseeching them all to measure up to what I see in my minds eye. Forever enduring to fail despite the arguments they pose in opposition.
For when my lids are down and that smile stretches its arms across my face, they know. I am thinking of you and not a one of them could ever live up.
