They Way They Are Hushed

She has a voice
to speak her mind
and in this world 
she can waste time.
she speaks so low
and so deep
it's almost like she
makes no peep
she only looks up
to speaks to the stars
and she makes them hush
for her, they aren't far
She only thinks to 
them as they are
for they are glowing
and only stars
they never stray
or speak out of turn
they are bright stars
and they burn
so hush little ones
 in the sky
she says to them 
and waves goodbye
