Ode to the Stars

The eyes of the universe shining bright,
Reflecting glory and ancient might.
Timeless they seem to the mortal mind,
In the eternal tapestry hope we find.
As the darkness deepens, brighter they be,
Reminding the weary of a greater power unseen.
Among them we've hung our wishes on high,
And carved from them legends and gods in the sky.
They reign forever like immortal kings,
Humility and awe to mankind they bring,
And light forever to generations unborn,
Watching as guardians,
To forever they are sworn.
From the death of one another may rise,
Like a flaming phoenix burning night's sky,
Ensuring mankind always will see
Glowing bright in patterns of light,
The jewels of his hopes, his dreams, and his final destiny.
