Fireflies in a Jar

In the darkened sky
shining is a galaxy
view blocked by your own
light, blinding by superimposing.
Not all darkness are bad
Not all light is selfless
Shining shimmering are the stars
About a billion lightyears far
the sky is black as tar
a portrait of fireflies in a jar.
The Universe is a stage
you are a mere
player, said Shakespeare
For you are a character
for those stars that come to see you near
up up and above they sparkle
unlimited energy in a twinkle
Fireflies in a jar they are
Visible only when sky's clear
