Of Stars Poem by Parvati Pradnya

What if one misty night
all the stars would disappear?
And fill the whole world
with darkness and fear

Who will guide the lost
in the ruthless maze of night?
Who will give the fallen
the courage to fight?

With no one to look from above
little children would cry.
Who would quieten them?
Not a single star in the sky.

Even the moon would mourn
the loss of her friends
'Come back! ' she would cry
'Before the night ends'

But the stars wouldn't go
I know they won't go
For they have promised so
To give light and glow...
