Beneath the Stars









Beneath the Stars

Darkness covers the sky,
Revealing other worlds,
Lifting the roof on high,
The moon shines like a pearl.

The trees whisper about wind,
Making way for stars,
Yet night is never blind,
Torches wheel by hours.

Like lances they thrust their light,
Piercing void with spears,
Looking down from highest height,
They will shine for countless years.

Stars hold many stories,
Gazers claim when and why
But for us they give a lesson
To be diamonds in a dark sky.
