A Dance of Light and Shadow
Upon the velvet canvas of the night,
Where countless stars in boundless heavens gleam,
I find my heart enthralled by such a sight,
As if entranced within a waking dream.
Each twinkle whispers tales of worlds untold,
Of cosmic waltzes spun through endless time,
In awe, I watch their fiery dance unfold,
A symphony of light, so vast, sublime.
Yet dawn approaches, wielding golden blaze,
Her brilliant touch compels the stars to hide,
But in my heart, their lustrous light remains,
As shadows dance, and day and night collide.
In twilight's grace, I find my solace true,
For in the stars, I find my love for you.
