Stars
Flickering in new flame
Glittering in a sky of pitch,
Dancing across a unique stage,
Embroidered white, by an artisan’s stitch
Swaying in the delicate breeze,
Stretched across a distance so vast,
You find your way, no matter the journey
Then with grace find your way home at last
Against all odds, you find a way to live
In spiraling spheres of perilous gas
Alone, pondering the worlds come and gone
Accompanied only by colorful mists of the past
Alone, and in complete solitude
And yet you decorate our world’s ceiling
You bring hope to every child and creature
and every emotion worth feeling
You inspired the civilizations of old,
And continue to do so today
With constellations of spots in the sky
And picturesque waves on the bay
You are my inspiration
To create, as you have done
And for all the starry-eyed people,
You shine for everyone
