Once a Star
Wail yourself away, o heart,
Far away from home and love;
Wail, but strive to soar above
To the sky’s eternal art!
We ourselves were once two stars,
Long before we had divined
That the fate we’d been assigned
Would inflict us grievous scars.
If we’d known the things to come,
We might have remained on high,
Where we could have spurned the sigh
Whose dull weight we’ve overcome.
Now together, you and I
Must rebuild our house of joy,
And derail the sordid ploy
Which deceives the callow eye.
In the chambers of the mind
We will find a place to dwell
Where our hope, renewed, will quell
Passions vain and left behind.
