The twinkle little stars
might not as bright
as the smiling moon,
but the sky cannot deny
the illuminating dots
in the witching hour.
No one would see the burning sun
if not because of the blue sky
that allows her to spread
her laughing feathers like birds.
Even the ‘Waste Product’
proved the world wrong
and became a ‘New Product’
by taking a new challenge.
Your inability is also an ability
to do what others dare not,
but only if you change the ‘in’ to ‘an’
and prove your valuable presence.
Who will give the deceased hope,
when they’ve made the grave
their permanent address?
You’re alive!
The hope is still alive!
