Moonwalker
The night’s face, pocked with stars.
In the stellar wind, we soar.
From this pale light,
acknowledge insignificance, watch
the blue spinning so far away, so close.
I am that finite point
of nowhere, of nothing, wondering
when the sun will truly darken,
if I will see tomorrow, today.

Goodness … were you having premonitions about 2020?
This is so solemn, yet somehow soothing to read, ponder …

I don’t recall when I wrote this, but surely it was during a period of questioning, of emotional turmoil.
