Dusk brings us to our knees
   as the night engulfs our souls
       and stores it for memories to keep

But what does this mean exactly

Are stars the answers to all our enduring questions?

Because maybe the night
  Is our only way of finding out and
   The best memories are hidden in the shadows
  
            Not displayed for our status to be boasted in order to extend our pride

But hidden for the singular enjoyment of ourselves

History is what moves us forward,
    creating a foundation to be learnt from
        establishing our essence as people
    
Shifts in our history can either push us forward

Or hold us back forever.
