Tears Streaming Down

~ Tears streaming down ~

  
   I reached out to a star
      pulled it into my hand
   It slipped through my fingers
      into Time's sands

   Where it twinkled at you
      from long years ago
   My tears streaming down
      the night you let go

Reading this poem I feel for some reason a metaphysical sadness and miss what you here call "you". Whoever "you" was.
