The Star
She stands facing the ocean, majestic in awe
Her tears flooding freely for all that is gone
It is the not knowing why, she whispers aloud
An emptiness inside she cannot understand
She did her best, to be his lover, his friend
The crying won't stop, will this ever end
She wipes away a tear, a light catches her eye
She looks up, it disappears; figures she says
She brushes the sand off her trembling body
The light reappears and it is a solitude star
It is tiny and far, though brilliantly lit
She stands up tall and faces the star
She asks for guidance, the how and the why
The star flashes once, then dimly fades away
She pauses and stares, what does this mean
This tiny star will guide her to hope
She feels this light will carry her far
To a place as calm; as the brightly lit star.
