Your Sky May Burn With Light

Our earth
is round,
and, among
other things,
that means
that you and I
can hold
completely different
points of view
and both
be right.
The difference
of our
positions will
show stars
in your window
I cannot
even imagine.
Your sky
may burn
with light,
while mine, at the same moment, spreads beautiful to darkness. Still we must choose how we separately corner the circling universe of our experience. Once chosen, our cornering will determine the message of any star and darkness we encounter.
