Beyond What We Can See

As I watch my feet slowly turn to shadows,

And dissolve into the vastly stretching void of darkness,

I can feel chills racing up and down my spine.

Another breath of the frosted wind sweeps over me.

I look up to the sky, and see the moon smiling back ,affectionately

Somehow it seems to whisper to me

“You are not alone.”

I smile back at the moon,

But now I wonder “What lies beyond my new found friend?”

I gaze up at the stars,

That have been sprinkled across the sky like silver glitter;

Scattered across the ever stretching abyss,

Like snowflakes on a velvet blanket.

Somehow they seem to whisper to me

“You are not alone.”

I smile back at the stars,

But now I wonder, “What lies beyond the stars?”

Somewhere far in the distance,

Beyond what my eyes can even perceive

There are venturesome comets,

and wildly swirling galaxies, still yet to be explored.

There are mystifying places that man has never even seen.

There must be marvelous baffling puzzles somewhere far in the distance,

Beyond what my eyes can even perceive.

As I turn back, I thank my God for stretching forth the heavens.

They may never be explored,

but they will also never be forgotten.

God alone knows the secrets that lie

Beyond what we can see.
