The night is not dark enough,
not yet deepest blue - indigo
enough, to reveal the star field
I envision, too much ambient
light overhead, in the glade,
to allow them glitter

A flag, the world is,
unfurled this night,
the heavens our crest,
to live till we die,
our motto, a cry to rally

this rage against the day,
this birth of light,
as you know, do not go
softly
