“If everybody likes you, you’re doing it wrong.”

On these dark nights
When the air is fresh and brisk
She is concealed in the sky
And speaks secrets in a soft voice
Showing only her beauty and grace
Her movements are slow and shy
The whispers barely leave her lips

it’s on these nights
She is accompanied by thousands that are fascinated
by her mystery
She attracts even the faintest and shallow of them
They look on in awe
But they don’t see her entirety


it’s the nights that are much brighter- lit by her beaming smile
It’s these nights she reveals herself as a whole
Full and ripe
Baltering and twirling
uncovering her weaknesses and blemishes
completely real and truthful

It’s these nights she only attracts a few
Yet they are the brightest, most incandescent of them all
They sing and dance around her carelessly
They love all night long
In the sky
