Some Nights I Am Glad

some nights i am glad to be caught up
in this cosmic squall called life
i rest in thankfulness for my place
in this sickly sway of the heavens
for my heart that beats
with the rhythm of the falling stars

it means i am small
it means i matter

i am the dust speck
in this oyster of a universe
and it means that someday i will dwell
in the heart of the great luminous pearl
of redemption
