You are a sky full of stars,
A floating voyage,
Infinite beauty that never leaves scars,
Cause you light up the path through the dark.
Like the Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky,
Continuous as the stars that shine,
You light up the world from afar.
Working Notes on Demet’s poem:
I chose the line “continuous as the stars that shine” because it reminded me of Coldplay’s song “A
Sky Full of Stars.” Then, I looked at the names of the stars, especially the brightest star, which is
Sirius. I gathered the lines of the song, the poem, and a basic definition I found on Wikipedia about
Sirius.
