The best part about the wilderness is the sky.
That moment when you first get far enough
away from the light pollution, from the highways.
And then you can look up
and up
and up
and up
and you can see everything.
The darkness is covered in the bright lights
that for too many will never be seen.
Find a place on the ground
and lay yourself down
and look at the beauty right above you.
You'll never run out of things to see,
things to notice, like our ancestors saw.
And yet it's not the same, the nature of nature
is to change, to shift ever so slightly, so now what
we look up at is entirely our own.
People of the future will see something new as well;
the shifting of the stars will never stop.
