Remembering to Star-gaze

I was feeling otherworldly last tonight and decided to step outside. There's been a star next to the Gemini Twins that's just been going off lately--all blues and whites and greens, sparkling up a storm. My time beneath the great Outer Constellation inspired a poem in my deepest Inner Constellation, enjoy:

Stepping beneath the stars tonight,

I lowered down to gaze
and heard the clear and plaintive call of an owl,
over and over,
reminding me how much of life remains unknown
behind closed doors

while such vastness turns around me.
