Stars

Lights are all different

By Jae QilinPublished 3 years ago 2 min read

the lights are behind the trees

with stars behind them

a forest to a city to the stars

amen

we can accomplish fantastic things

as human beings

we just have to wander

reach for the diamonds in the sky

and ride a spaceship

for the rest of your life

living a lie

always wanting to cry

because you're in the sky

crying your light out

unto the city

who hides you with lights of their own

light pollution

is the solution to hide the shine of the unknown

the city can be pretty shitty

but at least it feels like you're a drone

basically a palindrome

going every which way

and there are more like you

but the light shines from the city

out into the forest

being covered by trees

leaving only shadows in their wake

but keeping it blocked so the animals don't awaken

for it is their land which we are shaking

behind the forest is the plains where we stand now

because we are all so plain when

seeing all the stars so distant in the sky

reaching for them but knowing they'll never be in our grasp

because they're a million light-years away

giving you light every which way

keeping you from the shade

shining brightly

nightly

they shine

so you should say amen

for the bright night light

that is in the sky free to see

the natural light

is the one you can be

so what is your nature

escape the city and find it

you won't mind it

find your talent

and be your own star

because you'll be the start of something new

and you can improve

with all of your actions

and then you'll see better reactions

from all and none

because we are all one

so treat people like you treat yourself

and then it'll be proven

like the shirt, you're wearing woven

everyone is bearing a moment

that they wish they could go back to

and change

to rewrite

and maybe they would've been the light

but now is the moment

and don't waste it

don't let this moment be wasted

by getting wasted and creating more waste.
