City Stars

Quote by : Daniel Henry Rogers The stars don’t compete for the darkest skies Shine where you are; no one dims, no one dies.
City stars and lights, darkly lit bridges and little men from Mars I'd rather be far away from here, away from pollution away from cars To a place where fresh water pearls live cradled under water's overflow and the stars of night shine brighter than the snow ! City stars and lights, we live in dim lit places like butterflies live in jars Urban city viewing, we got gadgets we got wi-fi we got nigh buildings, roads , public transportation, makes me want to sigh Take me to a place of silence where the stars are always bright and the earth is filled with cosmic dust from stars infused with light. Urban city viewing, with arms outstretched we either live or die; Come with me to a place where docile stars can truly shine leave this world behind and join the glitter of their Divine ! Take me to a place where we can talk without restraint a place where we can be ourselves and never wear face paint. Come with me, to a place where docile stars are yours and mine.

- A beautiful place you describe, Vie Rose ... a bit like where I already live on this earth ... without exhaust, lots of nature, no asphalt on the roads, no neon signs that light up, the sea ... a wonderful silence and a fantastic starry sky ... out in the countryside :) - Best wishes in the contest :) - Have a lovely weekend :) - hugs
