I can't remember the last time I saw stars in the night sky
If light is winning
It is burning at both ends
Not realizing that pause
Or rest
Is not relenting
But essential for perspective
If light is winning
It is burning at both ends
Not realizing that pause
Or rest
Is not relenting
But essential for perspective
In all the lessons
In all the books
I read to my child
I can't seem to remember
Ever seeing a note
As to what you do
When the stars surrender
Go away
Perhaps forever
That lonely feeling
Thinking that the three stars you see
Are likely airplanes
Certain that they are moving
Convinced of their temporary nature
I heard a song called Hollywood
It spoke of bright stars
The work that goes into becoming one
Or many
But I don't recall
A conversation about how to see them
If they are there
Only hiding
Behind a veil of light
So heavy
It could crush the night
