Kevin Burke - stars

In a grass hut on the serengetti plain,
A family tired from farming, hunting,
Steps into the night sky
Starlight fills souls with wonder.
Minds stir with wonder.

Three thousand years pass.
My eyes focus on same distant suns;
And I am amazed by such accessable beauty
My soul overflows with the awe of expanding universe.

The “Nature Poet” was right.
“The mighty being is awake”
Present, not only in the domain of the senses,
But inseparable from all matter.

Kevin Burke
