Sky so dark and full
Of pulsating lights
Dimmed only by the moon
Where I used to live
Swirling all night
As if
dancing
Visual music
Bringing wonder, and
Delighting my heart
Now I look to see
Those wondrous beacons
But instead
Grey sky, an orange tinge
Polluted by the lights of men
Stars still swirl
and dance
Eyes no longer discern
Yet my heart remembers
Visual music returns
As I close my eyes
