While I reached for the stars,
I neglected the flowers.
In my dream to conquer,
I left everything that was dear.

I finally understood.

By the waves,
That brushed against the shore.
By the sunshine,
That gave life to plants.

Hollow aspirations
Held no value to this cycle.

I sat there, gazing at the empty sky
But what I saw,
Was the desolate beauty
of a vast universe.
And it gave me a vision
An illusion
Of a million stars.

A stranger in the night
Blessed with a starry sky.
