I Peered into my midnight blue dark sky,
The coy moon playfully veiled her pale face,
The silent stars twinkled their lullaby,
I mulled my significance in this place.
A star stared back at me with eyes of green;
Looks locked, my soul sprang up from my body
And stretched toward the star in her demesne;
My eyes held the gaze for eternity.
Stars have been known to fall, and this one did;
She tried to stay in her celestial sphere
But to no avail, so I sadly bid
That star farewell, but not without a tear,
For many stars stud my dark midnight blue
But none ever returned my gaze like you.
March 1990
