Can you see the stars shine?
They twinkle in the dark
As the Earth turns beneath
Showing us the glories above.
Hidden jewels sparkle
Among the nebulae.
Young stars cast their first light.
Old stars show their last.
Galaxies hold the stars
in orbit, in orbit.
Arms carry them
Spinning in a slow dance.
Spread across the unvierse
They push back the darkness.
And give light.
And give hope.
For the future traveller
Places to explore.
New planets, yes.
New peoples, perhaps.
There is only one way
To find out for sure.
Go to the stars,
And make our own starshine.
