Under a Starred-Studded Sky

Life, a stage under a star-studded sky, where shadows dance and dreams breathe, one letter carved the difference between knighthood and nighthood. Knighthood, an induction into the realm of honor and valor, cloaked in the sacred robes of tradition, a ceremony under the glaring sun, every move precise, every word a pledge. Nighthood, a secret society where dreams unfold on the darkened stage, silent whispers carried on the wind, where the night embraces the unknown, a realm unseen but deeply felt. There, under a star-studded sky, it struck me like a bolt of lightning, how small things craft vast worlds— an elusive dream that tiptoes through the corridors of the mind, one letter transforming the narrative. Knight and night, both kneel before us, their silhouettes blurred in the twilight, each bearing tales, each a passage in the book of existence. I wander, wondering why, pondering the slight shifts that shape destinies, letters, words, poems, born from the fleeting glance, the corner of the eye, where the star-studded eve births elusive dreams. Under this canopy of stars, I see the fine line between light and darkness, between roles we play, the dreams we chase, the words we speak. Knighthood in the day’s bright glare, nighthood in the quiet embrace of dusk, each a stage, each a life, each a world within a world, separated by a breath, a letter, a dream. And so, I stand under the star-studded sky, where knighthood and nighthood merge, where life’s stage is illuminated by the smallest of things, and I wonder, wander, through the night, through the dreams, through the words that weave our lives.

Pangie, I am not ahead; I am just writing my words. Many of my poems embody rhyme. Lately, less so. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your kind words. I wish you a great day. ~Don
