I have never seen the stars, but know them by their light. I feel their sparkles shimmer in my mind as I lift my face to the sky. Iām told that they are falling or passing on their way. So I enjoy their shining pinpoints ā different from the day.
gosamer threads spun
with no thought for their short lives
stars and spiders know

It’s not the first time I’ve written about stars, but the first I’ve been aware of not actually seeing them. Like so many other things, I feel them – that is all, and that is enough.
