Analysis of A night in the view of a star and me.
The sky melts in beautiful shades
Of fuchsia, dark blue, and gold.
Slowly, the stars dot the night
One by one.
Midnight is arriving
Giving me hope.
I start to think
'What does a star think? What's it like up there?' ....
(Then, the setting changes.)
In the sky,
Watching the dark shades below me
Change and rolling hills of green become black.
'Shine bright' my mother tells me,
And I put on my best grin.
No one can shine as bright
On the dark silhouettes.
'Shine!!' my father beckons me.
Shining with my friends,
Oh what fun!
But what's it like to be a human?
Like that girl down there?
