The point of a star

The point of a star is to sparkle,
to shine and light the way, yet now
we know as Van Gogh foretold,
the point is in the beholder’s eye
and the Hubble Telescope
aiming into space seeking a point
in balls of glowing gas.

This quadrille, inspired by dVerse, in its attempt to make too many points, perfectly illustrates the quote from Harry Nilsson’s 1970 album and animated film “The Point!” “A point in every direction is the same as having no point at all.”
