Just As Bright

The stars tonight
Are just as bright
As they ever have shone
Or maybe just a little bit brighter

The fog this morn
Was just as thick
As it ever has crept
Or maybe just a little bit thicker

No senses dulled
When reason culled
Away the ancient blinders
I drink up every sensation

The life I live
Is oh so short
And ever more precious
Than I previously imagined



This one was written a day after I came out as an atheist, expressing that life is more poignant and precious after “God did it” is removed as an easy explanation for every mystery.
