Gold From the Stars

The gold from the stars cannot be sifted,

the light from the moon turned on and off,

but golden memories can continue to shine,

always bringing silver tears

and trembling smiles.

*

As together we have walked the miles,

words quiet and hushed shared,

to keep the world at bay,

things to one another only we can say -

there is a hush over this world of ours.

*

While still holding your hand,

you seemed to slip away from me,

the angels were calling

and I had to stay behind -

as you sailed away on the gold from the stars.

*

Someday I too will follow that path,

knowing at the end you are waiting,

I stay behind dancing along with the songs -

that always makes me feel closer to you.

*

Now the gold from the stars,

lighting up the night,

makes it seem that you are shining your love down on me

and the twinking stars reflect your smile

and in my dreams, I know you'll be with me.
