As i walk this path tonight,
a great web of lights 
strewn together by a thread
thin as a blade
illuminates my path.
Guiding each step i take.
Casting shadow upon the way ahead.

As i wander this road
I pause now and again
to turn my eyes to the heavens.
I am not drawn to the brightest glow,
nor the most brilliant shimmer.
But to one with no other around.

It was then that I realized,
that it did not need to shine
as bright as the others.
For in its solitude
true beauty abided

But though it is here tonight,
there is no promise of tomorrow.
For this truth i must cherish
and love its radiant beauty.
That I know not how long we have.
