Last night

The sky filled me

With dread

 

I wondered

How I could matter

My thoughts

These words

 

But now

That I feel

The power

Of these ancient

Generous lights

 

I feel warmed

And certain of my place

Even if beyond

Space and time

 

 

For some great wisdom

Dictated long ago

That these lights be

And allowed me

The chance

To bear witness

 

So I will
