Splashed milk coated the pitched skies,
millions of galaxies arrayed
in glorious splendor
spun above our campfire.

We watched glowing embers
swirling up into infinity
& we spoke about the universe,
joked about aliens & such.

And with the viewing
of ancient-lines the following day,
we realized some things
may be real
& no laughing matter.

It's amazing the things
we can discuss under
the sacred heavens,
full of life,
some perhaps,
even extra-terrestrial.
