They sleep during the day,
Showing their faces

After the sun vanishes beneath the horizon.
They shine ever so brightly
Against the pitch black sky.
They seem to have no pattern whatsoever.
Scattered, it seems,
As if someone took a handful of them,
And threw it up into the sky.
If you look carefully,
And believe,
You’ll see Orion, Gemini, Canis Major,
And their other friends.
Really, the sky becomes the canvas
Behind an extraordinary masterpiece of lights.
Visible only at night,
And its meanings only visible to those
Who believe.
