Moon and Stars

All I need is to look up at night, 

and see an endless array of glittering stars; 

the bright moon alighting its dark backdrop, 

and the world: its problems, anxieties, worries

melt away into the soft, reassuring twinkle of light amidst the darkness. 

Glimmering rays of hope, a gentle, chilly night breeze,

and a silence so tranquil, 

it seems the world be asleep. 

And you stare at the wide expanse right above our heads, 

we're just a person, on a planet, floating in space.
