Noontime Starshine

You were gone
and whatever warmth
the world had in store for the day
descended
and in that word
was catharsis
in that moment
whatever we might become
reminded us
of what we are

I remembered a story
that I should like to share with you
in words
that might not reach
wherever it is you are
but will keep trying
long after I have given up
given in
to the call
of the sky above

It's about a boy
and a girl
that were destined to be stars
but didn't know it
so when they looked at each other
they saw a boy
and a girl
and the distant light of the stars
remained so very far away
buried behind their eyes
