The Little Dots

when I take a walk
alone at night
I imagine that I
am the only one left
on this vast world
and as I walk I feel so small
the only thing that keeps
me company
are the little dots
I see above me
the empty space engulfs me
and I notice
the planets that
are immense in space
but in the sky
from where I am
they have shrunk
into little grains of sand
and the stars
that brighten the earth
ever so slightly
smirk subtly at me
the seem to whisper
be still
and the thought
of the sky being so big
leaves me breathless
I look up to admire
this night
so beautifully placed
so perfectly placed
and I am reassured
that there are bigger things
then us
out in the corners of
our universe
