Above

Though all the stars twinkling in the sky
Appear the same to the untrained eye,
Yet gazing deeper into the pinpricked night
Reveals those which burn ever more bright.

If these stellar fires must themselves consume,
And destine them for an untimely doom,
The memory of their light remains behind
Imprinted eternally into your mind -
     For that which once shone will always shine.
