Darkness stretches on
For an eternity
Vast blackness
Fills my vision
A star appears
A bright speck in the night
Casting shadows
In my dark world
Illuminating corners in my soul
Mixing grey and white
Fading into black
Darkness, washing into the edges
But the star just stays there
Its elusive glow
Never ending, never changing
A tiny fleck
Always there
Yet so far away
Just out of my reach
Grazing my fingertips
I long to be closer
To hold it, to feel its warmth
I want to capture this light
And never let go
But the stars stays there
Shining bright and bold
No reason or rhyme
Unaware of my desire
Burning bright
Spreading its warmth
Emanating its soft glow
For all to gaze
If only that star shone for me
