Night's Diamonds

A poem about the jewels that light up the night sky. I normally don't do poetry but I was inspired. Let me know what you think!

Numberless jewels scatter the jet black sky forming constellations.

Wishing gems leave streaks of light for all to admire and cast their dreams upon.

Their shimmers of light give beauty to the colorless sky,

Hope to young lovers,

Faith to all dreamers,

Peace to a world of chaos,

And a map home to weary sailors who have braved the treacherous seas.

The stars are as important as the sun.

They emit light in the darkest of places.

They look down at the world’s people who are busy working, dreaming, laughing, hoping, talking, yelling, and fighting… but always hugging in the end.

There they stay though sometimes obscured by the morning sun or a cloudy sky.

Rest assured.

These diamonds are watching as many pass by.

They are watching you live.

They are watching you die.

They are quietly observing as you live out your life.

Perhaps this is why many desire to be one.

They wish to be a beacon of goodness, hope, and peace to all

Who turn their gazes upon them.

I really really really like this, and I love the way you developed the concept throughout. I think my favorite part is when you shift it from talking about the stars as an object in the sky, to personifying them. This unfolds really well. It's solid, man.
