I did a star
for my brand identity project last year.
And I presented
(rather eloquently)
on my stated reasons.
But most real reasons
remain hidden.
So here we go:
my name means star in Italian
my birthday is July 7th, or Tanabata
(look it up).
My school’s mascot
is a star.
I love looking at the stars.
But for the real reasons…
when I was younger I would wonder
how we can see the light.
How can the heart of a star
produce such power and glow yet only show up as a pinprick
of light in the endless dark deep sky?
Now I know.
There are too many stars in the sky
for a single one to shine that bright.
When I was younger I would wonder
how we can see the light.
How can the heart of a star
produce such power and glow yet only show up as a pinprick
of light in the endless dark deep sky?
Now I know.
Each star may seem insignificant from Earth but
each one has its own solar system.
And if that star were to be extinguished
so would everything around it.
And even though we might not notice that absence on Earth
the solar system would.
And the power and glow of each star is fully appreciated and needed
within its solar system.
And the power and glow
within the heart of each star
may only show as a pinprick of light on Earth
but each pinprick makes the world a little brighter
in the endless dark deep sky.
