The stars never shined so bright The light was blinding A star in his wake. To have gotten so lucky, To find such a lovely star In a galaxy full of ash and decay Was like finding a piece of gold In the bottom of the ocean Except he wasn’t valuable In a way that was priced. He was valuable in the way A thousand paper cranes are. Valuable in a way A newborn kitten was. Something new, a wish A breathe of life in an otherwise Dead world.
The stars never shined this bright Until you came.
