I Raise

In the midst of it all

I wonder:

What is the part I play?

Where does my path lead?

How does my story read?

Have I witnessed

the dawning of a new day?

When all is quiet,

these questions spin.

Seemingly disappear;

then they come

‘round again.

I don’t know the answers.

As the sun sets,

and darkness crawls

across the land.

I raise my eyes up to the skies.

Only to discover

the light from stars.
