The Sun That We're Awoken By

The Sun That We’re Awoken By

The sun that we’re awoken by

And stars ushering in the night,

Phenomena which meet the eye

Are precious in a person’s sight.

But when we say the sun is but

This speck amidst this galaxy,

The galaxy’s a speck midst what

This universe in fact might be,

We lose a sense of where we are

Beneath an overarching round

For what beyond us goes so far

Our feet are not upon a ground.

We lose the underpinnings of

A place that has been given us

And heaven which is up above

Of which we’re now oblivious,

Bedazzled by what we are told

We miss what is before our eyes.

We lose what we cannot behold

For truths we cannot recognize.
