Through all the days I’ve seen

the many nights go bye.

I sit so still and wonder,

wishing I could fly.

~*~

I see in the daylight,

the clouds that move so fast.

Always, forever changing.

The one before unlike the last.

~*~

I see the stars at night,

they’ve never left their place.

Always there and smiling,

down at me from space.

~*~

I’ve realized that some people,

will change like the clouds above.

So will their person and inside,

and in some cases their love.

~*~

Others are more like the stars,

never changing through the night.

Always there in the darkness,

to cast reassuring light.

~*~

I sit in the shadows and fear,

what kind of person am I?

Am I the changing, moving cloud?

Or the star on which one can rely?

~*~

I sit in the shadows and wonder,

what sort of person are you?

Are you a cloud that will fade from my life?

Or are you a star too?

~*~

Perhaps I’ve dwelt too long,

in the sunlit hours of day.

Meeting too many people,

who will never stay.

~*~

As I see I’m saying goodbye,

to one who is so dear.

I begin to wonder

if in heart we will stay near.

~*~

I can’t reach out to touch you,

alas, you’ve gone too far!

I can only sit here so distant,

and hope you are my star.

***

I hope you’re a star.
