Gleaming, glittering lights
High above Earth’s realm,
Incandescent, dappled twinklings,
What is the purpose of our stars?
The ancient mariners,
(And still some today,)
Used the scintillating,
Heavenly orbs to find their way.
But to find their way to what,
And relative to where?
You may just ask Wynken Blynken and Nod.
Man’s true quests start there.
And if love is light,
And stars are light,
May I use them to navigate;
To find my way to where you are?
