STARS

Millions of trillions of

tiny,
bright,
twinkling lights
splashed across
a cold,
black background;

Some of them almost touching;
Some far apart;
Some of them bigger than others;
Some of them so carefully placed

that they form
an almost perfect shape
or figure;

Some of them isolated

apart from the others
as though they were
purposely
unevenly
distributed

Some big,
Some small,
Some bright,
Some dull;
And however they fall,
GOD MADE THEM ALL.
