Our light, polluting Your Light

It’s dark

well, there is a bit of light on the edge of night

We have filled your dark with our lights

fires at first, campfires, cooking fires
then torches and candles (now THERE was a technological leap)

then lanterns
I remember lanterns from childhood visits to my mother’s family
fishing cabin

But now we put on laser light shows
and pollute your night with our small lights

I feel as if I’ve lost
the WONDER of the starry night

Oh Lord, OH LORD,
HELP ME TO SEE
