Twinkling Stars

When I look up at the night sky,
the stars are twinkling quietly.
There is no wind or sound,
as if the world is taking a single breath.

The light of the stars reaches us from far away.

Light from years, even centuries ago,
is touching my eyes at this very moment.

When I think of that,
time feels a little kinder.

The night sky is deep,
and countless memories drift within it.

The night someone looked up,
the moment someone made a wish,
all of that has become light and is still twinkling now.

The twinkling of the stars,
though it says nothing,
simply gives the certainty that 'I am here'.

That alone makes my heart feel a little warmer.

The night breeze brushes my cheek,
and the world is breathing quietly.

Within that,
only the starlight twinkles unchangingly.

The twinkling of the stars,
like a distant memory,
gently illuminates the present moment.
Under that light,
my heart is quietly dreaming.

This is an essay themed around stars twinkling in the night sky.
Just as distant light illuminates the present,
I have depicted the kindness and stillness of time.
