A Symphony of Shadows

Title: A Symphony of Shadows

In the abyss of urban nights,
Where celestial gems are veiled,
A tapestry of city lights,
Leaves stargazers sorely regaled.

Each flickering beam drowns the dark,
Eclipsing our cosmic existence,
Yet even with nocturnal spark,
We yearn for celestial persistence.

The cityscape, a grand façade,
Glitters with artificial grace,
While nature’s wonders are awed,
Hidden in light’s relentless embrace.

But amidst the veil of incandescent glare,
Whispers of insignificance persist,
By the stars concealed, we become more aware,
Of the elusive beauty they insist.

For though obscured by man-made strife,
Our place in the universe still holds,
A gentle reminder to embrace life,
Even when the night sky unfolds.

Keywords: insignificance, light pollution, stars, urban nights, celestial, darkness.
