The Starry Sky
Looking at the starry sky through my window;
I thought it was so beautiful.
Until the day, when I saw the entire night sky;
Without my limiting window frame.
I felt foolish to have restricted my sky;
To the size of my window frame.
I felt cheated to have felt happy;
About the limited vision that I had.
But then I thought about what actually mattered;
Is it the momentary truth or the absolute truth!
In that case, what is absolute truth;
Is the night sky actually as it appears to me!
I sought out to find an answer;
Asked many people to describe the sky above.
Each one had a different version to talk about;
None of them matched with what I had in my mind.
Is there no absolute truth then;
If it is all so person specific and time bound.
What are we actually seeking for;
Who will show us the real picture?
As I close my eyes and think about it,
I see the same starry sky within me.
Is it a reflection of the space above;
Or is it the other way round?
The dilemma continues,
So do the questions.
My mind learns to settle down,
And continues to look within.

I wonder if there is someone out there in that starry sky looking back toward us, and asking these same questions?
Thatβs an interesting perspective joe.. I wonder too ..
So true, we all have our own truths based on our perceptions.
Keep looking within. Your thoughts are profound and beautiful.
Thanks Miriam.
Beautiful…..
Thank you ..
As long as we all understand that each of us has a different journey and what we see within is all that matters, there is peace! Moment we try to see what the other sees, the comparison and mad-race begins π
