variation on a theme from zero hero

"I almost wept tonight
I could feel the tender indifference of the stars"

.....

here in this well of bright reflections
where we swim like guppies of God
there is a conscience emerging
from the banks of beginnings
on its way to upright standing

I almost wept outloud last night
begging the notice of Origin,
for a fingertip of intervention
to break the lonely dimension
of my being

what I see in the heavens comes to me
light years too late and seconds too soon
the gaseous tears of dying worlds
and the wind's antipathy
stealing my still-living sympathy
