Why Do I Love

Why do I love the stars?
they are so far away--
as the moon, dear guardian
of night, whose light is gone
the following day; and where 
does that light go, the sun 
will brightly say, it was only 
yours to own till she fondly 
went astray…

I guess, as with love
as with life, though gifts
they are only loaned
at best; and take 
them for what they are,
and for what they 
are not, take them for less....
