Cold winter night <br />Stars glitter <br />Like crystals of ice <br />High up above. <br />So far away they are, <br />So bleak their distant <br />Loneliness in all that vastness <br />Of the heavens’ emptiness <br />We find our minds recoil <br />As though we tried <br />To comprehend eternity; <br />It hurts, yet there they are, <br />The stars for all to see <br />Who will and though we may <br />Not care to dwell <br />Too long upon them <br />Yet we thrill <br />To know that they with us are there <br />And like the sun and moon <br />Are not a dream but real.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sometimes-it-is-good-to-gaze-upon-the-stars/
