Have you ever looked up at the night sky?

Watch the stars glimmer

Watch them burn

Watch a single star and wonder

What someone else is thinking at that exact moment

Wonder if anyone else in the world

Is thinking your same thoughts

Such is the beauty of the stars

The beauty of the night

Of darkness

Of the void within ourselves

That we try so hard not to acknowledge

And the sullen bitterness that remains

Such is the beauty of the shadows

And what remains

When the light is gone

Such is the beauty of the soul

And the longing that resides there

Such is the beauty

That no one sees

Such is the beauty

Of the flowers that don't exist
