A Star In Waiting

Look up to the stars and see that they burn
brighter than the sky, true to the stars
whisper words of time that passes by.
under my bare feet i keep walking
as far as they can go,
keep moving  with the moon that bears upon me
gently with the flow.
Time passes by and now i think
of what is to be,
not just alone,
 in silence i whisper
for my feet to return home.
With these empty arms , still wondering
along winding streets i roam.
I keep searching for what seems years
of someone to walk with me
 along this winding road.
to share my endless tears,
 to share these arms with me
until we both grow old.
Still burning above so full and bright
 a star that falls before me
silence from a burning spark,
just trying to find its way from the dark.
