talked to a star one night

Talked to a star one night It whispered From behind a greying cloud “I’m lonely” It seems stars are so busy shining They have little time to chat They find it ironic that we humans Write so much about them Attribute to them strange powers Of auric ascendancy. I whispered back Lest I be thought mad By other star gazers “I am lonely also” It seems that we humans are so busy Gazing at the stars We lose track of one another Stand alone wondering Why the moonlight is so cold And the stars seem so sad. We decided to shine together And whisper “Come join us any starry night”
