Stars wish for nothing
They shine without
Knowing how
They give rise to wishers
As they melt the night sky
Abundant, scattered
Yet each is known
Their evening dance
A ritual
Mystery holds them apart
The moon
Matron of the stars
Guardian of the night
Consequential
Bearer of light
In the blistered night
Celestial bodies
Lay weary souls
To rest
A painted sky
Bids goodnight
