One Star Less
by
Miguel Gonzalez
I
set a gaze upon an evening sky
The
quiet splendor of a starry night
How
infinite stars make the darkness shy
How
my eyes are awed by the heavens’ light
In
silence, a question now comes to mind
If
a single star were to fade and die
Would
we on the earth be able to find
One
star less amidst an infinite sky
A
twinkle has gone yet many remained
In
the heavens, stars and in darkness, light
My
vision still awed by what seemed unchanged
At
splendor still kept by a starry night
Yet
I realize what the truth contest
The
sky is kept greater, not one star less
