I See More

I look up at he sky
In the night
And see what no one else sees
I look, and I
Don’t just see
White dots twinkling in the night
I see glitter
Shining
On an artist’s canvas
Painted midnight blue

And yet I see more

I see pictures
Of Roman gods and goddesses
Loving, and hating,
Caring, and fighting

And yet I see more

I see a whole universe
Looking down on me
And it makes me feel very small

Yet I believe that
each star is my friend
And I feel special

I look up at the sky
In the night
And see what no one else sees
I see more
