Isn’t it comforting to think that we are all connected by these same stars?
Though some of us may be may be separated-
      by distance
      by heartbreak
      by death..
when we look up into the night sky, we all see those same divine stars
                      that same glowing moon
         That same lurking darkness that has NEVER been able to withhold from us the purity of the heavenly bodies which it contains

Think about the people we once were
The brilliance of these stars reaches even across time itself in order to craft a bridge connecting who we were with who we are and who we ever will be
so that- as long as we remain underneath these timeless stars, we are united by the efforts of 10,000 selves
United by all sixty-seven times our hearts      
                        are shattered
             by every passion or desire we         
                       will ever discover
United by every existential silence that
         reveals the world to us in a new light

Perhaps the night sky is truly the greatest
         Present that time has given us
In this world where every moment has no    
         other destiny but to be swept away
          by the tide of time,
The night sky remains the one constant we may study in order to connect with the entire genealogy of human kind

While I lay underneath these stars,
     though I may be lonely
I find comfort in the fact that I may never
      truly be alone
Scattered thoughts on a September night
