The Miracle Star

A million stars
Centuries away
They flicker and shine
Lighting the night sky
Looking like dancing beads of glass
Lit by eternally burning fires
Looking into the night sky
Lovers look into their light
Seeing one special light
A miracle star hanging in an ebony sky 
They say a prayer
Words spoken into empty space
Spoken with hope
The one star
Centuries away will never hear
The pleas of the young couple
Will never grant their wish
But through their love
Their wish will be granted

The romance stargazing inspires is captured beautifully, Robert. And surely, it is "love" that grants wishes. Love this poem! Carolyn
