Counting Stars

Stars in the sky

I started counting

On the terrace

Surrounded by the light

Causing interference

Causing fatigue in my eyes

The large buildings

And the big tree

Passing the clouds

Hiding my view.

Doubts emerge

From my mind

How many stars are hiding

Behind those I counted?

And all those on

Further from the earth?

Can I choose

A luminous night?

Can I count for days

Without losing my count?

Counting clearly seems as

An impossible task.

The astronomer's map

I saw in the sky,

Constellations

In celestial setting.

Delightful beauty

Of milky way

Bright guidance

Of a northern star

Counting in dark night

A breath taking ride.
