I watch satellites follow each other like fish in the sea. The magic of the milky way comes alive before my eyes. I look up. I feel small on the dock. I always do when I’m confronted with unknown of the vast universe above. A part of this reminds me of the ocean, the unknown feelings they leave in my stomach sometimes remind me to be grateful and other times remind me of how insignificant my life is in the grand scheme of history. Tonight I am grateful and inspired to write this poem. To capture a feeling I can’t quite convey but I try to anyway.
