All the World Waits

All the world waits
For you
Though surely there are times
Where it may feel
Like it is just beyond your reach
A realm unto itself
To be observed
But not to be interacted with

Know this
That you are
Not alone

There is so much that is not understood
About this place which we call home
So many facets of life
That are utterly beyond comprehension
From the grand and marvelous
To the seemingly mundane

Even the stars themselves
Which shine so bright in the stars above
Once thought to be fixed points of pure light
Infinite and absolute
Are but decomposing remnants
Scattered across great expanses of empty space
Many long dead
Remembered only by their lingering echoes

Our impact on those around us
Is not always clear
Nor can it be easily defined
By what we can immediately understand
And we are left to wonder
What purpose we serve

But just as the stars above
Though surely someday we will fade
Our legacy remains

          1. So far, it would seem that is the trend, but I am honestly really hoping that I can work more on appreciating the balance and the range of experiences. I would love to think that this year is going to be all ups, but I know that won’t be so. Instead, I just hope that I improve in my ability to accept the downs and allow the people in my life to be there for me to help bring me back up when they do, and that I may return the favor when the time arises. 🙂
