Stars

Stars, Ah Stars!
Twinkling, shinning brightly in the night.
I stand among them in their beauty.
They are not mine to hold or touch, I say.
"You are one of them", a voice says.
"You all are one."
I am humbled in my heart as I look below and see,
the fireflies mimic the stars that I am among.

Now there's a charming image! Now if only we here in Toronto had been able to see a few stars through the smog, I could better appreciate the comparison.

I love the stars on the firmament, as well as fire flies! As a child I counted them whenever I saw them. Fireflies remind me on walking home at hot summer nights in Texas when I was a student.
