Sleeping One Night Under The Cover Of The Sky Poem by RIC BASTASA

lost i finally find myself
on tired feet
beside a jagged ridge
where its tip
almost touches the
night sky
beside the handful of
stars

and then i lie down
my head facing up
the widest space of my
life
i feel the emptiness
wrap my head and
body
and i feel the wondrous
power of
God all over me

awed am i
and now on top of the world
i hear the hush of the wind
whispering finally
that with the stars
all around me

i am never alone.
