Stars
By Sue Blain

Stars, lights in the night,
Patterns in the sky,
Planets and distant suns
Guiding us
On our journeys.
Attracting us,
Affecting our lives.

Stars, always there,
But dimmed by our
Nearest, greatest star.
Visible only
As we turn away
Into increasing darkness.
Emerging at dusk.

But still our star persists,
Illuminating
Our moon and planets.
Even in darkness, light.
Never complete darkness,
Always the light,
Universal light.
