Upwards

And I glanced upwards

then I decided to

contemplate more and more

Until I couldn’t feel time moving

and it was just my eyes and the sky

so powerfully connected

 

Those millions of worlds above me

remind me of the significance

of us, right here, the infinitesimal

Because there is a heart right here

beating, desiring, dreaming

and things never stop happening

 

And then I took a deep breath

gazing at those gems in the sky

 

Suddenly,

My heart was whole again
