do you want to see the stars like i do?

open your eyes!
open your mind,
finally...see what you're looking at.

like science?
read the books,
they've categorized and grouped and named and...and...and...

until they don't look like stars anymore.
look at 'em,
oooh, pretty lights, right?

sparkling like diamonds on a black satin sky,
like the light you might catch in an eye...
sigh...but never mention.

so tiny.
in-significance,
barely worth a second glance,

not like the moon.
she pulls the tides,
and makes the wild things howl.

not like the sun.
he heats our hides,
and peels the dark night's cowl.

maybe from your perspective.

but every last one of 'em,
is just like the one,
you see in daytime - a sun.

and suns have planets,
and maybe...
people, too.

thanks brad.

i like your stuff too, but usually any time i post something here,
the firewall goes off shortly thereafter, and i can't connect to anything.

it's friday 13th,
i've posted twice and i ain't dead yet.
cool.
