Perseids

I went to the valley where the sky is darkest,

Briefly escaping the manmade miracle and the burdens it carries in its hands,

To lie in the grass surrounded by black,

To stare into the unknown and wait for natures fireworks to begin,

To feel a purpose with every flash of light that shoots across the sky.

I let the vastness swallow me whole until I feel the true, beautiful insignificance of my significant existence.
