Connecting the Stars

As I gaze upon the sky
Under the veil of night,
And all the stars dance
In the glimmering moon light. 


I can’t help but wonder
What it would be like,
If everyone on earth
Would heed their advice. 


That we’re all as equals
That we all shine bright,
And not one star
Should try to steal,
Another’s spotlight. 


If only this were true
The world would be alright,
But we live in a world,
A world fueled,
By spite. 


As I gaze every night
Upon a weeping sky,
As stars fall,
And the others say,
Goodbye. 


We all make a wish
Upon that falling star,
Before it lays to rest
In this foreign land,
Afar. 


So every night,
Before I close my eyes,
I pay my respects
Before finally saying,
Good night.
