Street lights breathed to life,
The stars paled in comparison.
A million times brighter they are, yet,
snuffed out to our imagination
by our meagre inventions.
What does that tell you about the stars?
that even the most feeble one of them
needs darkness to shine through.
When even the brightest of the stars
are benign under the street lights;
What does that tell you
about darkness?
