The Brilliant Star Show

What infinity of wonder presents the mighty sky filled
  Invisible sights play within the billions of twinkling lights

Daring us to explore

And we do
   Because we want to know more

More about the great big universe which may turn out to be infinitesimally small
We want to know it all
   
A single infinite point to contain all that we know and can ever know
Seen every clear night; the brilliant star show


 The Milky Way we affectionately call home
A small disc in the vast countess bounds of space

Our atoms came from the first stars in our galaxy
  Our galaxy stars can from the first stars in the universe

We were all once suns

Giant and proud.  Powerful furnaces burning and churning matter and energy to create all that is, was, and will ever be. 

An astounding creation
  A sublime variety

Look into the sky and know that was once home

That is our collective past


 It is the same for every creature on this small blue rock we call home
 It is the same for our fathers and mothers all the way back to the dawn of man

So much wonder in one place
So much to discover

We alone are the first generation of peoples to have the technology to give us the joy of witnessing first hand the birth and death of stars.

What wonders will the future hold?

Some are filled with terror at the thought of how tiny and insignificant we are next to such a vast sky.

Me…

I am filled with joy, gratitude, and wonder to consciously witness the wonder that is us amongst the great night

Filled so brilliantly
  With an endless plethora of light
