Noctalgia - sky grief
The night sky
Shines bright, yet dark
Driving children inside their houses
Yet the night sky
Shines bright
Stealing stars from space
And beauty from nocturnal poems
Stars from the skies it steals
That were invisible during the day
Stars, it steals, and the dreams
Of youth that wanted to touch them
The night sky has been warped!
Changed, corrupted!
Made into a whimsical parody of what it used to be!
A parody that only shows a dull grey
Instead of the beautiful dark it used to be
The night sky
Shines bright
And grey
As it takes and takes
The shapes of constellations
The search of comets
The young eyes, freshly
Learning of celestials
It takes and takes
As it's own beauty it rips out
And lets it fall to the ground
Left behind, as it walks forward
To follow behind Progress
