Have You Ever Wondered.

Have you ever stared at the starry sky at night,

have you ever noticed how they merge into a blur

and take on the forms and shapes of your dreams.

How everything around you melts into the void

and nothing is willing to stir.

Have you ever stared at the moon over the sea,

have you ever noticed how it seems to hang there

suspended in the night sky by threads of silver.

How the calm it radiates upon the landscape

seems like a great tribute to serenity.

Have you ever noticed how the silver light

that the moon graces the world with,

forms an imperceptible bridge across the sea.

Beckoning you, luring you to join it

high up in the sky.

Have you ever wondered

about the vast emptiness surrounding

this tiny capsule of conscience of ours.

Has our seemingly futile presence on this world

ever confused you.

I have, and this is my story.
