Sojourner
Once I traveled far above the earth.
This beloved planet we call home was covered with
an elastic web of light.
I watched in awe as it shimmered, stretched,
dimmed and shined,
shaped by the collective effort of all life within it.
Dissonance attracted more dissonance.
Harmony attracted harmony.
I saw revolutions, droughts, famines and the births
of new nations.
The most humble kindnesses made the brightest lights.
