Eight-line Poems

Countless

Countless

Out there in the lonely places,
in the deserts when the sun retires
and the daytime heat seeps into the sands,
on the mountains where the freezing air
is sharp and brittle in the night,
out there where the stillness reigns
and darkness cloaks the world,
the stars are strewn beyond our dreams of number.
