A Falling Star
I came upon a falling star and grasped it
within my hand
the wishes it held I released unfulfilled
trying to understand
dreamers dream in slumber's nest
with desires unreal
the earth alone
heaven atones
for the sake of finding real
truths are savage
lies are sweet
it's all in how we feel
unclasp my hand and the star
naked it did fell
