Ive got some good material but its mine! MINE!!!

Stars are often a symbol of hope. A cloudy night represents despair.

one of my favorites is describing stars as "being so bright that it looks like they are holes in the floor of heaven" kind of thing.

The night deceives our eyes . Makes colors seem what they are not . Red turns to grey And yellow turns to white We must decide what is true and what is right .

one word:

"starfield"


I personally love it.
