GLITTERING LIKE STARS

I see the stars shining in the sky like so many diamonds cast upon black velvet;

they twinkle like blinking eyes catching the light on a warm spring evening.

Aren’t they a sight to behold? So close you can touch them but a hundred lifetimes away.

I sometimes wonder, are we alone or is there a God up there amongst the aliens?

Now the dawn appears, the sun chasing away the stars, bright golden colours cascading across the heavens.

Day has arrived and stars have no place now the sun banishes them to their darkness.
