Stars |
up overhead they appear smug in wisdom they smile serenely over all and mock the efforts of puny man. ice-cold in confidence they laugh at folly and ignorance they chuckle over sordid details of lives of unknown people. in blinding blue diamond hardness they shine, they wait, they listen for truth for us to act to think to reach at last . . . the stars. -- Ken Koester (1970) |
