MY STAR

MY STAR

I felt lonely and hollow tonight

Like a black hole deep in outer space.

Sucking life in as a vacuum,

Shredded feelings just left in its place.

I was worried about my lady

And what she had chosen to say,

As I plunged through the darkness of time

I was considering just floating away.

Then suddenly from the vortex of thought

Her beautiful star shone before my eyes,

Her smile as radiant as a supernova

Across the cosmos its purity did fly.

Why did I ever need to worry?

My lady is a true star of delight

Her spirit as soothing as a moonlit field

With words that will caress me tonight.
