poem on the fly

All the little skies, all the little worlds, all the things below us
All the time, all the eras, all the decades of wonders
So many lives, so many particles, so many souls upon us
Millions of trials, millions of truths, millions of rolling thunders
All of the hearts opened to my wounds
All of the minds that met their dooms
All of the compassion laid to care
All of the emotion that I can bear
The innumerable souls upon this world
The shattered lives and homes among us
The love and faith that lay unfurled
The hope that is cast by loves like us
