"The stars or the moon?
Twinkling dust or a spherical disk?
Infinity or just one?
Dots that connect or a lonely mist?

The midnight hue,
A dance of the past,
Shallow waters,
Something not so fragile as glass.

A dozen souls,
All trapped within,
Shining so bright,
Up in the sky at night.

The stars or the moon?
A game between dots or something that reflects the light?
I know I couldn’t possibly choose one,
Between the colours in the night or the hollow grey close to the sun.

The stars, they shimmer,
Sometimes mistaken for being red, green or yellow,
Some may be more rounder than others,
But we can only see so much from down below.

The moon, it glows,
Travelling so far over the horizon,
Sometimes it comes around during the day,
Such a pleasant surprise rather than to be gone.

The stars or the moon?
Which one would you pick to stare at in the afternoon?
A bundle of dots scattered across an empty canvas?
Or a graceful figure on a lonely dance?"
