Where are the Stars

In the beginning,

There was only darkness

They told me it was night

After all, without planets

There is only space

Which is our “night”

If that is so, then...

Where are the stars?

A man and a woman

Together and alone

Surrounded by only themselves

Yet a pin drop silence remains

Until one opens his mouth to say

“The moon is beautiful tonight”

But the other asks back

“Where are the stars?”

In a city full of light

There are many asleep

People say the city only glows at night

Where the sky is pitch black

They say it keeps the people alive

As if it were always the case

But have they ever wondered

Where are the stars?

Astronomy is to be enjoyed

People enjoy admiring stars

Yet they are often forgotten

Taken for granted like the light at night

Look up at night

Because only then will you realise 

Only then you will ask yourself

Where are the stars?
