heaven of stars

Each of us is wrestling
with that perfect little something
we discovered

We line up all our reasons
As the seasons change
With little regard

Time has no patience
And laughs at you for picking up the pieces

Shattered many years ago
Underneath this Haven of stars….

The life you lead says nothing
Of the hope you had
while you where still a child

Your mother and father
Offered caution
as you played in the yard

Though hope can last forever
Your body and your soul have left the station

While the moon slowly rises
Underneath this Heaven of stars

Now fall has come
Are cotes are on
The bitter chill reminds us we are cold

Days where long not long ago
It seemed so warm
Where did the summer go?

The night is clear but something in the air
Keeps us guessing

Ask another question
Underneath this heaven of stars…….
