Understanding Me

MDStone

Understanding Me

I look up into the bespeckled night sky

And oh what wonder engages my eye

The streaks of light mystify the mind

And oh what treasures might I find

Hiding within a constellation’s great lore

Asteroids and comets and meteors galore

A vast and ever increasing domain

Where only memory’s echo does remain

And to think this scene started so long ago

Yet tonight I stand illuminated in it’s glow

Looking out into a time now gone by

That I should stand beneath this very sky

Till it dawns on me that I’m a speck of dust

Chiseled from this spinning Earth’s crust

Still able to appreciate the grandeur I see

And come to a better understanding of me

In this great Universal scheme I’m a part

But I’m just a stroke in this work of art
