Lonely

by Twisted Heart   Aug 1, 2007


There you sit among the clouds
Your light flickers and starts to fade
No longer bright, a whisper now
No longer strong and brave.

A single speck up in the sky
Once true and bright to me
A light so proud to boast a shine
As you shot cross the galaxy.

In clustered crowds you used to be
Outshining all your peers
Not knowing that longevity
Would find you lonely here.

Oh little star that once was brave
That stood with so much love
Has now become a lost facade
Up on the sky above.

    This rings a bell. It reminds me of the poem, "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls". I also liked the seeming metaphor of a star to depict the cycle of life. But then, again... this piece has plenty of rooms for interpretations, other than the one I have in mind. Beautifully written, as always. :) A pleasure to read.
