Like Any Given Star

Like any given star,
no matter how distant you are,
you become brighter still,
and I guess you always will
as I learn better yet to know
undimmed radiance, steady glow
of your magical self and the hope
you still bestow on this lovesick dope.

Christopher M. Swan, “Song of Susan,” 2008
