Through the cold air
of steady winter skies
the cosmos is revealed
in its profound mystery
The Pleiades blaze forth
across infinite nothing
gracing the zenith
so soft, seen from afar
Beneath starlight I gaze
with quiet introspection
upon the fabric of reality
in search of meaning
Deep within the soul
moves a terror stirred
of simple eternal beauty
missed by daily concerns
Perhaps it's woven within
the fate of the universe
or within the perception
a reflection of the mind
Standing in the cold wind
as Orion rises in the east
there is clarity of vision
for the eye that looks within
