Dean Koontz poetry

I just finished reading Dean Koontz' Sole Survivor. At the beginning of the book I found this poem:



The sky is deep, the sky is dark,
The light of stars is so damn stark.
When I look up, I fill with fear.
If all we have is what lies here,
this lonely world, this troubled place,
then cold dead stars and empty space...
Well, I see no reason to persevere,
no reason to laugh or shed a tear,
no reason to sleep or ever to wake,
no promises to keep, and none to make.
And so at night I still raise my eyes
to study the clear but mysterious skies--
that arch above us, as cold as stone.
Are you there, God? Are we alone?

and below was:

___ THE BOOK OF COUNTED SORROWS


I'd never heard of it so I did a search and found a bunch of Dean Koontz' poems. Didn't know he'd done poetry so for anyone interested take a look.
