Stars

Beyond the frigid mists of time,
where I thought my future lay
I (fore)saw only dreams sublime,
and my past-I wasted away

Tormented souls have not true eyes
for crystalline realities (are they at stake?)
The to-be me, will he also fantasize?
Harrowed imaginations do not a life make

I see through the gray skies, see the stars
They cannot help me find transcendence
But their mere glance resolve my scars
When they insuperably look on with glazed eyes

I trudge on with relentless fury,
The dreamer knows not that he must fight
Half-wrapped in the folds of fate
I faced the world under those stars

For, my only light were they
who blazed a billion miles away.
They know not why they shine,
half aroused they are in the nocturnal hour

But they light the embers of the souls
lost in the haze of the worlds below
Time's an illusion, and the gale of death
weakens in their glimmer aglow

The stars lighten my path for me
The burdens they lighten for those that see
The stars that shine, they shine for you
A wish upon a star comes true
