The Stars' Promise

By Katherine Griscom

The sky has its dark days,

or light seems to rest,

but with the night time comes

a different kind of test.

In the darkness, you will see

the little things that brighten

the void into a shining sea

of a simplicity forgotten.

Our hope is like the stars,

or their brightness in a way,

shining in the darkness

and bringing promises of the day.

Put faith in the stars,

who collectively won't fail,

to shine in the darkest hour,

and sing the sun shall prevail.
