A lifetime spent under the stars
Laid in the grasses of the past
Staring up at the twinkling canvas
Slight variations etched into memory
Moments captured with the starry night in the background
The midnight air all around
Enchanting the surreal experience of seeing how many stars there really are
But alas, it still isn't all
The naked eye can only see so much
We can try to count them
When there are clouds dancing effortlessly in front
Masking out parts of a known constellation
The conversation finds itself effortlessly ebbing and flowing in time
Soft giggle from the nervous current of energy from within
Temporarily quelled and pacified
Only the stars can see the truth
Carefully cataloged in their legacy
As the permanent fixture through the ages
Granting a marvel forever to be thought over
Provoking the genius within to challenge the known definitions
Expand our knowledge
Evoke the dreams
Explore desires
Encourage the unknown to be defined
Excited as the constellations reveal tendrils of a story
Enriched because you know more details lie beneath
Everyone has their versions of the story
Their facets only to be shared in time
The truth remains guarded
Protected
Each of us holding a key
Finding the match is the only way to the truth
For with it can one truth be revealed
Dare to hold a breathe in wait
Until the time comes
When we dare to speak of what lies beneath
The stars of night
Under the safe haven in the dark
Illuminated by Stars
