Stars do grow weary and old
          their own years they have forgotten
          too long in suspension in the ethereal cold
          tedium and angst in their hearts have begotten.

         Tonight under the dim sky hours I've stolen
         my past suddenly resurrects and my life's story is retold
         my youthful dreams she had once faithlessly broken
         to emptiness and melancholy only my tears now alone I hold
* a friend wrote to me about 'stars; which inspired this poem. After Shelley
