Divine Light

Night falls as part of our world defies the sun

I seek comfort in the one star that shines brilliantly against the vast void of black that embraces everything beneath

The sun will rise and fall, clouds will drift, birds will fly with the freedom I have longed for desperately since my conception

Beside it all, I sit observing life grow around me throughout the linear timeline that guides all to different places, people, ends and beginnings, unfamiliar but admirable

I've sat here for decades, growing alongside old oak trees, counting my years the way you count the rings on wood Flower buds blossoming in my mind the way they blossom seasonally on branches

I've come to understand,

My purpose is clear, when the sun sets once more and the innocent fear the night, I will guide their gaze towards the star that in the most uncertain of moments, always provided me light
