To every star in the sky,

February 11, 2018

I certainly don’t shine the brightest

In my city, country, or world

But I don’t see a single one of you

Casting shadows on others

And taking the glory for your own

So I find comfort

In that I don’t have to shine alone

But can choose to be one in a billion beautiful stars that shine in a single starry night

Your vast expanse may scare some others

Or make some want to explore new worlds beyond

But I merely get lost in you

Your void diminishes any need for thoughts, feelings, or words

I only appreciate your beauty and brilliant glow

And I feel safe in the arms of your open sky

Although I live in a city polluted by smoke and light

Only a few of you shining

Is what I need for a good night

Thank you, wonderful stars,

Every one of you,

For brightening up my world
