Certainty
The sable splendour of the night.
The sky a velvet canopy
far from cities polluting light.
Deep etched upon my memory
When I was young, resilient
I camped out in the wilderness.
By night I viewed the firmament
with reverence hard to express.
Now I am old and cannot go.
Retrace the footsteps of my youth
I do not think I surely know.
There in the silence I found truth.
No matter where a man may roam
his heart will find the best way home.
