It’s okay to wonder,
the universe is full of us,
beings that wonder
and things that are wonderful.
It’s okay to doubt,
because we are human
and human beings
see many things
that are doubtful.
We cannot escape
our reality
and the promise
is always
a lie.
We are here,
that much is certain
and we are going
to leave here
sometime.
It’s okay to be sad,
for our lives
are not perfect
and we will face
many terrible moments.
It’s okay to be afraid,
because there is
a vast unknown
in all our lives
that we cannot escape.
Cherish every moment
that you can.
We aren’t here,
in this place,
in this time
for more than a second,
and then we’re gone.
Flying through the universe
on our little, blue ball
until we’re not
and until then,
life is wonderful.
