Flickering Stars Poem by Sincair Farrell

Tonight the stars flickered & flickered
like a light switch
was unsteadily being turned on & off

Flickering stars
vanished from sight
as quickly as they first appeared
in time with the click of fingers
a perfect sequence

Surely these flickering stars
can't be a mere cosmic accident
or a illusionary vision
for those very stars
hold so much more significance
than being just dots of light
to be seen across the entire planet.
