Night's Sky

When you look up at the sky at night,
You fail to mark immediately,
The many wondrous stars there are;
Your gaze must be constant and precise,
To note the lesser sparkling ones.
So is it then, that in this world,
Of successes and unfortunates;
We still cannot see beneath the apparent,
For something intrinsically beautiful.

I think of the dim ones, Emmanuel, as being the ones farther out into our source, thus they are greater by their position from us. Smile. Good write, enjoyed the read, Sincerely, Moses
