Stars –
They come out every night to remind us
of how we are meant to live
Shining next to each other on a tapestry of black
each breathing light into the darkness
Glowing in unison
becoming an awe-inspiring sight
Side-by-side
stars appear even brighter
and make hearts a little happier
as we connect them together
and create pictures in the stygian sky
May we burn like those midnight suns –
not in competition, but in harmony
lighting up the dark world
with our radiant energy
As I watch you illuminate the world, you encourage me to keep shining. Other people’s success doesn’t intimidate me, it inspires me. Let’s continue shining together; life is more beautiful this way.

Oh, very nice poetry. Of course, I always expect that from you. And I like the footnote, too. We shouldn’t avoid others that are as creative as us. In fact, we should work them to grow better and stronger. Keep giving the world your magical words.
