Beacons

In the darkness
I can see our stars.
A rose, for one.

You, for another.
Imagine the crowded sky at night.
You are not alone.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The imagery of stars in the darkness and the comparison to a rose is evocative and creates a sense of beauty and connection. The repetition of "You, for another" emphasizes the theme of companionship and support. However, the poem could benefit from further development of the central idea to provide more depth and emotional resonance. Consider exploring additional metaphors or descriptions to enhance the reader's understanding and engagement with the themes of unity and solidarity.
