Feeble Beginnings

The sky is charcoal
A slate as yet untouched
Chalk lying on the ground
I pick it up and wonder what to write
In the vastness
Unsure what to create
With the boundless potential
Paralyzed

Upon closer inspection the stars appear
Mapping out a celestial dot-to-dot
And all my worry melts away
As realization dawns with the morning
That I am just a child
Asked only to connect the dots
Already laid out for me
