A Moment Between Worlds

 

When I step outside to visit the stars

To gaze upon Venus and Jupiter

Who ask no questions, who make no demands

I hope to celebrate the universe in some small way

 

But maybe not

 

Coyote-wolf-dog thingies keen in the woods

And autumn cold comes creeping across the fields

There is no Grendel out there in the mist

That is, I don’t think there is, but maybe…

 

But maybe what?

 

They remind me that I am but a visitor

And that it’s time for me to go inside
