Envied Existence

Streams of light in lifeless skies Each night a longing becomes immense Cut darkness just like fireflies Awoken feeling of mystery intense Where light bulbs disappear and fuse Or fall when they loose their grip The tilting jug of the Milky Way unused Not even to quench the wish of a sip Minefield where deadly games are played And wounded hide there scars Moving target turns night to day Evading shooting stars But Sagittarius doesn’t know The bull’s-eye at which he aims Is Taurus’ disappearing show The war vet of mind games We’re centered to view this free lightshow Where envious stars afraid of the night Look down on us and wish to know The views mirrored from their light
