And let us commence with a poem:

I sometimes write poetry, but not as often as I should, and I'm not half as good as I'd like to be. But we'll start this blog off with a poem I wrote yesterday while wearing my new star-covered pajama pants I got in Scotland last month. A bar of swiss chocolate also played a part in my inspiration.

"Coruscation"

by Brittany Cardinas

I look to the stars in bleak moments.

The night sky is dark, but beautiful.

Perhaps it parallels

This darkened world—

Perhaps it evidences that

This nebulous life can glisten,

If only we stop looking to the

Duplicitous sun for content.

This photo isn't mine, but I thought it applicable.
