"Summer Sky," by Jenepher Lingelbach

Black on black,
Hills silhouetted in the night
Against a sky so limitless
Infinity seems real.
And we beneath the star-pricked sky
Are infinitesimal.

Yet we are also real.
Our senses, not bombarded
By the decibels and light
Of a frantic, fearful world,
Are open
- to the softest sound
- to outlines and slight motion
- to scents that rise
and float on dew-filled air.

Reduced, expanded,
We redeem essential selves.
