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…
