To Your Star

The sun's lowered it's head to the end of it's day
Giving nighttime it's chance to present it's view
That first star caught my eye with magnitudes of feeling
And, all I could think was to be there with you...

So, I lowered my head much like the sun had done
Simply dined with emptiness just a bit more
And, raising my hand to your star in the name of grief
I found each night's longer then the one before...

I'm still falling hopelessly down in my minds yesterday
Reaching to your star for that familiar lift
I extend my arm but I just can't seem to touch
So, understand if I bathe in the memories you left me with...

I don't have the heart to take the moon for granted
For, I'm in love with the sky that brought you here
I may bow down to this scene for it's beauty seen
But, I can't swear you'll never witness my tears...

I'll just reside out here where I can't help but look up
Perhaps I'll crawl to unforgettableness pace
Helplessly stare at you from dusk's point of view
Here in the heavens spotlight face to face...

I'll ask that the mighty lender covers me from wild winds
A cloudless night that I may find you again
Through our distance just take me to where you are
And, together walk down that highway of stars...




Sauni The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain.

thats one of the coolest couplets Ive read....
oh man....I wish I had wrote that...
love all the imagery in this...
beautiful write poetess Saunni.

Its been a million years since I touched you
I was hoping time would help me win this game,
but being away from you is slowly driving me insane.
