Muse: Starry Night


There’s a star, on a traveling adventure,

Sailing through the cloud like a phantom

Without arms, she sailed against the wind

Stopping when she saw men gaze at her

Maybe when she stopped, it was to hide herself

But the glittering cloud, held many as her

So no one could pick her location exactly

***

This starry night brought lovers together;

In a particular place, it was a man and his pen

As man felt the airs and saw the nights fiesta

The pen painted it, from his imagination

***

Twinkling, the stars give their beauty away

Drawing tiny dots on the great darkness,

The dots glitter, some larger than the others

And when the wind was smooth and softer

Their presence fade, sadly, solemnly

As the darkness reclaimed them

***

Now, when the star resumed her solo travel

I saw why, I understood why she traversed,

Why it was necessary to find herself

So I held my eyes wide open to see more,

To see her shove through the choking stream

And when she came to a point she stood still

To give her light to the great darkness,

It was then that the breezy rendezvous ended
