The iridescent gleams
that spark up a spice
to make me believe more

Like drops of royal honey
so sweet to the eyes
a natural beauty of the night

Never-ending light beams
that teach me to dance and
give me the inspirational water I thirst for

Impressions and colours
fade under your wake,
the shadows you faintly disperse

Your healthy flashlights
light our ways through the darkness
when the moon doesn’t shine

You make it all clear
with your brothers above
that everything seemingly small is
worth something large.
