Whispers of Light
Those are little angelic whispers of light.
So far away that we can only see them at night.
They help the mariners steer their ships through the sea.
Mottled against the sky, they are of great beauty.
How many stories describe them so fancifully?
Like candle lights, they have shown throughout history.
Throughout the heavens, there are many a star.
Just reminders of how little we earthlings are.
