Somewhere Beyond

"Somewhere beyond"
Somewhere beneath these stars 

I stand a man 

looking back 

through the black 

that exists 

in between the pale specks of light 

spattered throughout the night sky. 

Somewhere beyond my comprehension

exists a lonely point of pale light 

shining its whole existence 

into my eyes 

in a flickering moment 

of irrelevance. 

And somehow

I found that moment

among other infinite moments

in the cosmos

blinking without comprehending 

this light's entire existence.

And yet, 

I also found my memories 

that adds relevance 

to this moment 

under these dim points of flickering light. 

My chest fills 

with something now,

more than just cold night air 

and my eyes let fall, 

something more than just tears. 

And somewhere beneath these stars 

I stand a man 

shining back 

his lonely point of pale light.
