I looked up for the first time in years
tonight.
I saw the stars
shining down,
beckoning me towards a better end.
I felt complete in knowing my
problems were so
miniscule to the
universe.
But I still feel alone.
How long has it been since you looked up to the
heavens above to watch the
midnight sky.
How long have you taken that
single moment to stare in awe of the
gigantic world.
How long has it been since you put your
problems aside to watch.
Too long for me.
I looked up for the first time in years tonight.
I saw an
ocean of hope and dreams.
I wonder if mine were
swimming happily in the
expanse above.
But I still feel un-loved.
You may wonder, is there more to this life?
You may guess at to what there is beyond it.
I don't guess, I pretty much know, that life is not about that.
I don't guess, I pretty much know, that in the end we all share the same
coach class seating on the plane to
afterlife.
