I am a star

I am to you 

not what you see, 

I breathe the fire 

of eternity. 

I am a star

that flickers bright, 

and disappears 

with morning light.

So gaze at me

in darkened space, 

and feel my pulse, 

my heart does race 

and when the dawn 

comes fleeting on, 

hold me fast 

and linger on.
