Starlight

I, perhaps in my youth, you know,
Back when we all think that we have
All Knowledge.

Those days of untamed certainty
What do you know?
I, alone, sit atop the world’s wisdom!
I am all-knowing and infallible.

Yeah, back then.

Days when I would gaze at the heavens and
Fix my attention on the lights that so adorn,
So illuminate!

So, I compared you to that light.
“Behold, your countenance is like the starry sky
In all of it’s God Ordained Splendor!”

But, now I cannot look directly into the light
Emanating from you!
Aura?
No, that language languishes beside reality.

The stars, those angels of light placed far above…
Those great, furnaces burning trails of light through the Cosmos…

They must bow before the radiance cast from your visage.

Yes, You, are the source of warmth and light in my heart.
