Saudade of Stars -KR

Pierce
this
vale of
far darkness
with the flame that lives
within your ever moving soul.
The wish of a star can never be told in silence
but if they could speak I'd imagine they'd wish upon a soul that someone might tell them
'sweet star burn bright at night! Burn free and clear and show us the way to our own heart's desires'… at least I can dream it that way for my milky way.
And if the stars wondered what I might wish upon them, I'd whisper so softly 'I want to know how brightly you burn up close and happily do call me Icarus that I, too may meet my fate at the hands of unbridled joy!
