Smaller Still

     When you close your eyes here,    
     It's easy to imagine      
     Relentless waves washing the shore,    
     But it's really the wind    
     Rustling the evergreens    
     
We drove north today;    
Arrived just after midnight.      
Their chocolate lab,    
Old Diamond, greeted our sight    
     
Pulled up to an '83 Glendette trailer,    
1/8 of a mile behind the house,    
5 hours north    
Where blueberries grow    
     
Fresh air gives the lungs a break,    
And the stars here make me feel small.    
Unpacked, I take a moment,    
Look up, and I'm back    
     
     Full circle to the wonderment,    
     And the big questions    
     
     I search further into the night sky;    
     Deeper into its' neighborhoods;    
     The sky's north, if you will,    
     And I feel smaller still
