Untitled 737

Enlightened

Over-looking

Top down

Zoomed out

Yellow, white, green, blue, and red luminaries dot the endless sea of night

Standing as lifeless sentinels

blinking, lighting—flickering to and fro—protecting and guarding the movements of the living

Their endless watch immune to gazes overcast their direction

Without them, night and darkness would overcome—undulating in cosmic rhythm

Yet, they limit, no! bind shadow making way the path of light

Oh! To see them!  To really see them!  How glorious the cage of their construction—so delicate, so fragile, so formidable

Alas, to see them is to defy God and nature when we, with metal wings, progress not as humans but as birds
