Starry Night Poem by iris shih

Starry night...
As if starry nights
One of a kind
Yet once bonded there will be too many to count

Starry night…
The deepest light in humanity
Isn't it what one truly desires
To be or not to be
To shine or not to shine
As if the one and the only one starry night
That happens at one of the nights
The uniqueness, the thousands of bells that ring.. your heart..s..
Of one's soul
Spontaneous, simplicity, creativity and authenticity
Consolation of the souls that lite
As if … the starry nights
As if … the one and the only one starry night
That lite up the heart once lost
Your soul … your deepest light
Contrasting your deepest desire
Desire…
As what's humanity meant to be
We earn it … we desire it …
As if love is meant to be

Starry nights … Lonely nights …
Perhaps … to be or not to be
When what's inside you finally harmonized …
Finally becoming of what you are meant to be
As if destiny
But never fate
As if … if there is … … Really …?

Comparing the endlessness of such universe
Producing stars, endless of stars
Contrasting how little humans are
So tiny… so small… so not that matter
Yet
What defines humans of being humans
The core … it does matter
As if … always matters
