Distant Star (So Far Away)

Anthony8 Comments

Star so far away it is blind

More than us, it left behind.

–

Hanging in a lonely night

If only it could shine more bright.

–

And not be so very far

From everything, and who we are.

–

So distant we can’t detect its heat

Though it would make us more complete.

–

If only it could know our plight

And reassure us every night.

–

Star, as light years away as can be

But if we use a telescope, we can see.

–

It isn’t as unreachable as it seems

Just like all our heartfelt dreams.

–

Close your eyes, relax your stare

There it is, just shining there.

–

So if others don’t give love, or care

Remember like that star, it’s still out there…

    How I wonder what you are
    Up above the world so high
    Like a diamond in the sky
    Twinkle twinkle little star
    Now I wonder what you are!”

    (sorry one mistake ~ it’s one of the very first songs i learnt as a little child)
