Thousand Twinkles

Twinkling light, shining bright
The size of a dot, giving sight
To but a speck in the sky

Come closer,
Behold and see
The beauty and majesty
Of a twinkle in a thousand
Blinding, scorching
The sheer size awestrucking

There are thousand twinkles
Like this light
Each different, each unique
But all the same
To the naked eye

Thousand twinkles not enough
To light the darkness of the night
Thousand twinkles not enough
To clear the sun of its light
Thousand twinkles not enough
To outshine a single streetlight
Thousand twinkles not enough
Thousands more still not enough

Twinkling light, shining bright
Not enough until we climb
Higher, closer
To the darkness of the night
Only then can we see fully
The majesty and beauty
Of a twinkle in a thousand
