Starlight Poem by Smoky Hoss

Tiny balls of light
Dance through the night -
Ancient creations on display
Hundreds of light-years away.

Their shinning glow
Reaches across the cosmos -
So far... and so close; onward
To the ends of the universe it goes, and goes.

How can this be?
That the age of Eons ago, ... I now see -
This distant life that once was...
and yet, now is.

It once may have died -
But, I see it here, fully alive.

Starlight.
Illumine my dark night -
With such hope on high,
That I shall forever live... though someday I may die.
