Endless Quest

This quiet night is filled with dreams,
asleep, it seems.
The moon hangs low,
the stars, aglow.

And I, I gaze toward this sky
and ponder why
I'm here at all,
so meek, so small.

While far beyond, the endless quest
to know, attest
if God is there
to hear my prayer.

I always enjoy when these types of thoughts come to us at night, and how small we are compared to the universe and yet we have a consciousness of it all.

Great work.

Hello, Wally,

Yep, looking outward toward the cosmos always brings many questions to mind - endless, and yet - why wonder why?

Thank you for reading!
