Dear dark and silent night sky, once again, it is I. You span from Aquarius to Cancer. I ask questions you don't answer. Why don't you care if you disappoint, while in space and time, I vanish to a point? When I know that you don't care, why do I persist to stand and stare? When children wish upon a star, how cold and indifferent you are! When I look at you, what do I see - is it infinity or eternity? What draws young lovers to the moon? Why did she have to leave so soon? When my mom and dad looked up at you, did they ask these questions, too? What about their fathers and mothers, and my ancestors and so many others? Is there someone in this world like me - Or one from another world in your infinity?
