INFINITE

When I stare up
at the sky,
On a naked cloudless night
And see the speck-like giant stars
in thousands-----
gazing down upon the earth ...
This vault seems devoid of space,
Tranquilized by the illusion of time,
Swept away by the waves of boundless infinity------
I see a mirror image...
Too small to see,
Too small for me-----
And for once,
I feel ashamed of being a human
