I see your star still shining bright
amongst the others in the night,
a sight so blessed, as by my eye
your star now rests in symmetry.
How I love the nighttime skies,
such magic drifts before my eyes;
these are the times when I aspire
to write what sets my heart on fire.
To write in rhyme is such an art,
words all coming from my heart;
like my heart, they need a beat,
metric poems in measured feet.
Words start forming in a chain,
tumbling round within my brain
about the love I tried to grasp,
the love no longer in my clasp.
Grief attacks with many spears,
piercing holes for leaking tears,
but gazing at night skies I see
the one lone star I think is thee.
I see your star so shining bright
amongst the others of the night,
a sight so blessed, as by my eye
your soul now rests in symmetry.
