Under the stars, when the frost starts to chill
When the moon there is smiling and shimmering still
When sight seems unending and sparkles so fill
I feel but a speck on this land

Under the stars by the shadow of moon
Holding the image that passes so soon
Hearing the silence of heaven in tune
My company full and so grand

Then wonder of heaven and where it might lie
Of others in space and spirits that fly
Of stars and their distance and what when we die
Of life and the future in hand

Drawn to the cosmos to travel with mind
Where so many wonder of what they may find
Finding at end, that the ending is kind
But often we don’t understand

All of these stars are God’s children at play
All hidden from sight with the coming of day
But shinning so brightly when day fades way
To offer their bounty as planned

Atop of this hill where the world I can see
The night shows its beauty and all it can be
The stars sparkle brightly, so brightly for me
As beauty again takes my hand

Enjoyed the read, Rick, and, yes, we are all just specks on the land but so very privileged to have so much beauty around and above.

This reminds me of my visit to Glacier NP... where I felt both completely insignificant... and part of some wondrous whole. *S*

All of these stars are God’s children at play

And sometimes, we're lucky enough to watch. *S* Beautiful work!!
