barely visible
silent stars withhold secrets
of the darkest nights
meteoric moves betray
contracts for cold comfort zones
~I thought of their unfathomable distance, and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the unknown past into the unknown future~ – Herbert George Wells
Do I trust sunshine?
It highlights parts of the Earth
shields its host – the Sky
paints backdrops for new stories
Life rewrites the mystery

Reena, this is excellent! I love how the quote brings us into the light! This is a beautiful poem. 💜
