Your light shines with mine 10-08-2026

The world is spread out beneath me,
a layer of dark velvet
dusted with fluorescent glitter,
sparkles that succeed the fiery sunset.

They shimmer in clusters,
as if the fabric of the world
gives rise to gatherings of life.

I wonder how many people -lives-
I fly over each second,
and how many life-changing moments
I unknowingly bear witness to tonight.

How many of you will I meet?
And which of you will illuminate my heart
the way you illuminate the Earth?
