Starlight

They say the light shining from the far distant star Has been streaming for eons. It's coming so far, The star that has sent it may no longer be there. My mind can't comprehend that light comes from nowhere. The astrologists tell us, so it must be so There's much more to the universe than we now know. I just know what my senses tell me and they say The star still shines from there, though it's far, far away, As my heart still refutes what they've told me is true, You've been taken away and the love that we knew Is over and I must go on with a life That is empty of meaning, if I'm not your wife. As the lovely light tells me the star is still there So my love burning brightly assures me you're near. .
