In the quiet darkness of the night

The stars gather like playful friends,

Scattering themselves like fireworks

Jingling, blooming,

Blinking softly as they warm the wide open sky

They cast their luminous brilliance on the cloud, adding hints of beauty

Soft caramel light brushed across the dark

Young and vibrant,

They radiate a cool, steady energy

That settles gently on all living things

When your eyes rest on them,

a smile finds its way to your face

And calmness feeds the mind

The night opened a space where beautiful stories are finally told

Their essence appears in faces, painting the eyes like shifting colours

And when they grow old and fragile

They fall, becoming metals in the soil

For human hands to find

Once, they were something light

Now, solids beneath our feet

Still in every form, the nimble stars saved the night
