Our Sky
by Judi Bachrach
Astonished
Last night was the height
of the Pleides meteor shower.
How did it get to be almost fall?
By nine o’clock
Darkness covers the courtyard
Remember
we used to camp out
on the southeast side of the mountain
waking each other up to see
Handfuls of arcing lights
a breath
one, then more and more
on good years,
more than our spent wishes could follow.
We are so small
Our planet so large
Our planet so small
the cosmos so large
The vast unlimited Mind of God
Unfathomable
Morning geese are
tracking their way
back through our sky
So Beautiful
