Unknown stars

If we saw as far
As the farthest star
Would this part of night
To our sight be dark
Or entirely white?

Composed on the 3rd of November, 2024.

Inspired by an unusually clear night for the stars when walking along Engelsåsveien some days before, glimpsing distant stars filling the dark between the constellations; and by a magnificent night sky a decade and a half earlier on Anglesey.
