Stars of Clarity


Bright stars of clarity spark dark night skies
     against their heaven-blue.
          Through light-years far away-
they speak to me in their unending glow.

They speak the wonder of this Universe;
     below them spins our home;
          this Earth, a speck compared-
so lost in breadth of space among the rest.

Oh, stars of clarity you speak to me;
     for sure we're not alone.
          Among you, suns like ours-
have worlds that spin and rotate as we do.

The law of probabilities does show-
     there cannot be just one
          large star-sun galaxy
supporting life as we, beneath its sun.

Twinkling stars bejewel our evening skies
     above this earthly world;
          a vision to us all;
we're not alone in this grand Universe.
