Why Are There Stars
why
are
there
stars?
are they stepping stones to heaven
lanterns
that
light
your
way?
or lighthouse stars...hear a sailor scream
“hallelujah…we are saved”
why there
are stars?
they circle ‘round the moon and sing
i’m not kidding
these little blinks of light
the bling of the skies
sentinels of moonstruck lovers
haloes of angels
light years away
WHYareTHEREstars?
They shout forevermore from glory!
Are they stars or heaven’s ships?
i ride the chariot of candlelight
pulling on the reins of hope
but really...why...are...there...stars?
a child cranes his head counting his dreams
and when the moon turns dark,
fireflies of the sky fill the child’s head
as the myriad of stars wander filling our lives with wonder
the chalkboard hangs over our souls instructing starstruck eyes
we count, connect the dots, makes wishes
and ask forgiveness
