Starless
I look to the stars when I am sad
I look and realize that life is just that
Life is a sad process of denial and greed…
I look into the depths of space and am amazed
The magic of even being here is staggering
The possibilities of me
The possibilities of you
The possibilities of everything around me
Is truly inspirational…
I let go of the little things
I embrace the magic
I laugh at how silly we are
To solely focus on one daily routine
That excludes others
That sometimes excludes our selves
And we become blind so easily…
Beneath the same stars there is war
I hear no bombs or cries
Beneath the same stars people die
For those silly little reasons…
And I wonder for hours
Until sleep takes me into dream
About the stars so far away
The meteorites that brighten the sky for just a flash
I wonder how far those have traveled
How old they are
To just disappear in our skies in a fiery streak
And it makes me feel in a way, sad and guilty
All of those wishes made upon such an intriguing process…
And I sleep happily
But the sadness will return tomorrow
When the stars do not shine on me
And I once again become blinded
To only seeing what be in front of me
What I have made my sole world
My daily world without stars
