Sitting under the stars, cool night, all still.
Looking up, at ten thousand stars reminds me of going to the planetarium, seeing the world as God sees it.
Now, looking up, I see it all again but smaller.
Big Dipper, Orion's Belt - I remember you.
And the Milky Way - a white streak across a black sky.
And look there...lightning in the West, though the sky is clear.
