Distant Star
A Poem
Then I'll admire you from afar distant star
For if your light never reaches me
At least in mind we see
The differences that hold between the leaves
Are sometimes trees in different times and places
Yet the same in the breeze
You tease, you tease the lifelines and I always thought no one ever did that better than me
Besides, really, truly if ever we were to meet
I'd quiver and quake, or maybe even bow
But, always looking up to you I'd have to raise my head and smile
