Poem
Why are there stars? Without stars, how would we know that the darkness holds beauty and light in limitless value? Where would fireflies find the inspiration to put on their dance of love and loneliness, searching for a mate? Without stars, what would the Milky Way wear to spin and twirl, and flaunt its extraordinary beauty to the Universe? What would wee one's wishes send shooting across the sky, to find purchase in their dreams? Without stars, what would there be to shimmer in a lover's eyes at night, and measure the depth of their gaze? What would we use to count the ways we love our precious ones, or number the grains of sand on the beach? Without stars, how would we know where to find water at eventide ... those sparkling reflections of wonder and magic, that ponds, lakes, rivers, and the sea, gift us after the sun sets? (Diamonds adorning the depths). Without stars, what would lonely sailors befriend in darkness - what would they use to tie their thoughts and hearts to loved ones afar, or navigate their way home? What would the moon have to outshine in the night? Without stars, how would we give sum to the winks of an eye, the thoughts of a brilliant mind, the thrums of a heart, the ticks of a clock, or the giggles of a child? What would Sagittarius let fly from his bow? Without stars, what would the Big Dipper dip? What would Orion wear for a belt? How would Polaris know where North is? How would Canis Major wag his tail, or Gemini know his twin? How would Pegasus fly, or Pisces swim? Without stars, what would make Heaven so ... heavenly?? And I am dread to imagine how few poems would have been written, without the exquisite beauty and shine and inspiration, that the blazing Sea of Suns overhead, has given to the human race ... It is a muse without compare, and a glorious, dazzling expanse ... Without equal.
