The Stars

Only you would complain about the dark sky
when the stars and moon
are out shining bright.
The blank canvas that they dance on
is what draws your attention.
For what would it take you
to appreciate the stars?
The depth of darkness in the dark sky
must make you feel so empty,
for it’s the source of your complaints.
But how would you do it differently?
For the universe is perfect in every way,
it’s imperfections are where the beauty lies.
It’s a shame that’s where your happiness is
taken from.
Where your children also shared the same imperfections
as the universe,
your constant doubts and gravity towards the darkness
took the child out of your children.
They grew up feeling that the universe inside
them was dark.
When in fact it was glittered with stars.
