Of Men and Stars

The stars shine down from a darkened sky.
They seem to say why can't we be men?
Sometimes they streak across the sky.
Falling to the Earth as a star burning.
Men look up and then make a wish.
That they too could shine as much.
One day there came a new  force.
It began an era of peace and love.
There was an excitement in the air.
Then through our sins a way parted.
A way to live those forgotten dreams.
Where people like stars began to shine.
And the stars began crying tears of love.
                                       date: 4/10/23.
