Why Do Stars Sparkle At Night
I look at the night sky in awe at the stars
Wondering why they are there?
Are they a celestial map for the angels
Or are they signs to us from the divine?
Are the stars there as an accident
Or are they all there by design?
Or are they actually just a creation of our own creative conscious mind?
Why, oh why, do the stars sparkle in the night sky?
Are they there just simply to be a twinkling collage?
Dancing around Saturn's rings
Light years from Mars,
Signposts for aliens to find their way home in the dark
After staggering out drunk from celestial bars?
Why, oh why, do the stars sparkle in the night sky?
Is it about quantum mechanics
Or maybe astrological rhymes?
Most are not new, they are as old as the arch of time,
Though star field nurseries spawn newbies to join their display
In their mystical, mystery portrait sparkling away
Out there in what we know to us as cosmic space,
In universal grace and I ask
Why, oh why do stars sparkle in the night sky
Forever this will always occupy my time and mind
But the one thing I know for sure
These stars are sublime
And are a masterpiece in the dark night.
