Special Time of Night

There’s a special time of night.
When the stars congregate.
They come together for the ritualistic
consecration of the night sky.
In that time, you can see everything.
You can see infinity.
You can see beyond.
Everything in those short few moments
is expressed by an entranced glance into the night sky.

Then, the stars disperse to their respective galaxies.
Their own universes and worlds.
But those of us lucky enough to see that moment are forever changed.
We realize that there is always something more
that we cannot see.
We find the greatness and vastness within ourselves.
Our own stars come together for a brief moment
and we search for all of them to return again.
