What Do You Know About The Sun?

Story

What do you know about the sun?

It only conceals the starlight of its neighboring heavens

At day, we would dismiss the stars’ presence

And have it hover at the edge of our remembrance


But stars have always been there, chanting their worth

But no one seems to bother


We tend to forget who sided with us during times of war

And who substituted the sun’s temporal light

With a constant, gentle luminance that never did depart,

Illuminating paths and enriching our sights

In the solace of the night, when shadows play their part,

The stars, like silent guardians, perform their art


They remind us of those who stand firm, steadfast and true,

Those whose light persists in the darkest blues

For in life’s deepest shadows, where we stand alone,

It’s the stars, not the sun, that guide us home


Their whisper in the darkness, a serene, silent plea,

To remember those who light our world,

Though they may not always be seen


So, let’s cherish the sun for the warmth it brings,

But also the stars—the unseen strings

For in the tapestry of life, both near and far,

We find guidance from the sun, but comfort in our stars
