I do love gazing at stars but am also mesmerized by our city lights especially from the top of one of those skyscrapers or on Mont Royale at our lookout...
I can affirm that the sky is definitely smaller in the city having lived way out in the country to have the vastness of the starry night spread out above me.
I love the simplicity of this - the night no longer having stars, only skyscrapers.........I would miss the stars, were I to live in a city.
ReplyDeleteVery true Sherry.
DeleteIndeed.. we have quenched the stars in our cities
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed.
DeleteI would miss the stars too if I was always surrounded by these too tall buildings...wonderful and powerful in these 3 lines.
