10 billion stars

Post by the mingo » August 7th, 2015, 8:15 am

three thirty in the morning
i get out of bed, start coffee
open the back door, look up -
ten billion stars rush
into my eyes
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

10 billion give or take a few....
a billion coffee grounds
can't match the starlight
that filters into your soul
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

abacus made of star stuff

I think that feeling/moment could be called an epiphany.

stars, pinholes in a black
backdrop, letting in light,
night is solace
