Starlight

As the sun sets upon the asphalt homeland
Stars appear above 
the metropolis 
Weary eyes gaze up in wonder 
as the dots in the vast darkness
They are really suns 
some larger - some smaller 
The stars stimulate urban dreamers 
Starlight illuminates the lovers on the Planer Earth 
A heavy sense of peace 
descends on the city 
Did you not know that 
the universe is sending you its love?
