reclaiming awe

darkness whispering between window blinds

wiggling a finger at the edge of street lights

howling, forlorn calling down alleyways

shadows bristling, twitching, at the furious growth of light

domain of night, hallowed sanctuary of shimmering stars, twinkling and delighting

rare elusive species, magical creatures, worshipers of starlight

full moon revelers, fire dancers, star gazers

nomadic wanderers and ancient seafarers, our human journey entwined with celestial navigation

re-remembering our origins, born of stars, under stars, in the night

reclaiming awe, wonderment, relishing in the great mystery

discarding polluting screens, bluelight contagion, enslaver of imagination

casting off the confining cage of comfort, convenience, certainty, control

laying upon the tall grasses tickled with condensation

slipping away into the folds of earth, blanketed with stars

living entangled, interdependent, awe co-arising with Arcturus, Sirius, Aldebaran

we are space dust constellating on earth, enigmatic mycellium

bearing witness to nightly migrations, Cassiopeia, Leo, Draco, Libra, Big Dipper

ancestral language uniting our journey homeward

awe in being human, star gazing
