Listen to poem:

Dying stars

The night volume is turned up high; it's the prisoner of despair 
Self-conscious this paralyzing world that is running out of air
A dire need of change for the fearful stars are made so aware
The cries their loved ones make when one falls and dies are echos of the mind, I swear
It reverberates through the heavens as countless humans choose to aimlessly, stare
At their last night; now just a silhouette of time when they showed us how to care

You are so very right! I have been blessed with clear skies at home as of late. So my love of the stars has definately been in full effect! Warmly A.S.
