Outer Space
.
In the blackest black
There’s a speck of light
The smallest dot
Or prick of white
.
Day dusts the dawn
With a rosy hue
But from outer space
The earth looks blue
.
How trifling we seem
In the scheme of things
Our egos are all
But we are too small –
Important only in our heads
As we lie musing in our beds
.

If we realize that even our planet is but a grain of sand in relationship to the vastness of the universe perhaps our individual grandiosity will be taken down a notch.
How true that is, Carl!
In the big scheme of things, we are as significant as an ant or a grain of sand, but we all have an important role to play here. Lovely writing, adee.
Oh yes, but we (some more than others) think we are SO important and, in some cases perhaps we are, lol!
Hi there, adee.
How lovely to see you again.
So very true! Lovely post.
There is no better or safer place to muse than in our beds..Actually I’m always hoping to find a muse in my bed..lol
Hi Jack (lol), I’m sure you get amuse quite often in and out of bed!
You touched one of my strains, Denise. The vastness of space and time.
And the greatness of its creator.
Thank you
John

“From outer space Earth looks blue” …and if not for the indwelling holy spirit of our creator…it would look that way from my bed too…

You
It is amazing how many different ways there are to contemplate ourselves and our surroundings, Paul.
