Green With Envy

Barefoot as I walked on the beach As a flash of light came from the east It drew a fading line in the night sky As I ran towards it as if I could fly Several months before the rush of August It came to me like an unlikely comet Just like I dreamed it would be Out of my reach, across the sea Oh lustrous fallen star I wanna be where you are Ditch my life and live in the shade Of this heavenly mark you have made Relinquish all my hopes and dreams Risk it all on one of my wild schemes Build sand castles in a crater by the sea 'Till the tide washes it away and face turns green Wasn't aware of how hungry I'd become Or that my legs would tire so fast and start to numb All night searching for the comet that had fell Looked back at my distant home and bid it farewell It was pass the break of dawn, my breath was cold I followed my compass and watched the day unfold With sores on my feet I bottled all my determination With passion I clinged to my ever-growing imagination Oh lustrous fallen star I wanna be where you are Ditch my life and live in the shade Of this heavenly mark you have made Relinquish all my hopes and dreams Risk it all on one of my wild schemes Build sand castles in a crater by the sea 'Till the tide washes it away and face turns green But it wasn't meant to be ~ life of a fallen star and me You were a glint of light in my wildest dreams But it wasn't meant to be ~ just another wave in the sea Driven by the moon, draws me in just to turn me green Green with envy For the Star Contest Hosted by POETESS DARKLY
