The moonless night
is as deep as any ocean.
Only a distant lonely star and I.
It sends it's strands of pulsing light
Far from me in countless miles.
But they land in my eyes
Sparkle by sparkle.
It needs to be seen as much
as I need to be noticed.
The dark is too dark to be alone.
The moonless night is too deep.
We are friends this star and I
We have a common bond.
The silence that surrounds it
also surrounds me.
I must be more like this star
I must shine my light
On a distant uncaring world.
And find that one who is gazing
upwards as I am
Waiting  to catch
my light in her eyes.
