Where is that bright light,

That we so often look for?

Lost in the world

Of the lost

Why can’t we accomplish

What have we set up?

Why can’t we reach that star?

That goal so high in the sky,

Slipping away just when we grab it.

We can reach out forever,

But never far enough.

It seems mocking, taunting

Beckoning us to touch what we can’t.

In our minds we can reach it,

But back to reality,

It’s just as far away

As it ever was.

But I will catch my star one day-

And keep it.
