Sea of Stars

Contemplating our human existence.

I marvel sometimes

At how wide our existence is

How very miniscule we are

Compared to the rest of the specs

We call our peers.

 

How,

Could I ever be significant?

 

I am

Just a fleck of light

Amongst an entire sea of stars.

 

But then I see beings

Who glow

So luminous

Among thousands,

Never once

Dimming

To attempt to fade into

Oneself.

 

I cannot fathom

Their undying lust

For their own aura.

 

I can only purely stand in awe

Watching as their soul

Pours out ice blue

So harshly opposite

Of the pale yellow flicker

We all pretend to be
