Modern Stars

In today's world, I can't see the stars anymore
So I make do and wander outside during the night,
and look for something shiny and precious,
something close enough to a star

I pass by so many shops until one catches my eye
It wasn't the heavy jewelry displayed or
the bag fat diamond at the center of the store.
It was the one beside it.

Small, so unnoticeable from a distance, yet...
Lovely and quiet as the night sky
Throwing hues of red, blue, and silver when you focus
And so hopeful that it makes you smile
