star girl

the vast, vast sky

reminds me that i am nothing but

a small piece of a much larger picture

pretending that the moon chases after me some nights

and resting beneath the suns benevolent smile

i’ll leave this world

but you’ll find me in the one above you

try to trace the curve of my body in the cluster of stars

some have died already but

even in death, they carry out their duty still

winking and watching over you

as i join them in their place

above the sky

look up and wave to me

don't worry, i'll remember to

wave back.
