Earth – so humbly silent
not boasting of its treasures
it lets the sky show off
shiny roofs at night
Stardust in you
inconspicuously matte
-it takes human effort
to bring out luster
-compete with the skies
-give them a floor
to rest egos

How wonderful. Earth quietly waiting in the wings while the sky is the true star. I love this.
