Night Sky

 

When we electrified the night

           We forfeited the Wonder        

And

Mystery of the stars

Where, in years gone by

We could lie on our backs

On a warm summer’s night

And gaze at a multitude of celestial bodies

In amazement

We are now hard pressed

To find sky dark enough

To see even a few

Scientists call this Noctalgia

\"Sky Grief\"

Sadness at the loss of dark skies
