My Stars

I lie on the cold,

Frosty and sparkling ground

As I gaze wistfully at them,

Those burning,

Magnificent stars,

Longing to be with them

And become one with them,

The beauties of the night;

I fall asleep 

As they twinkle a lullaby to me,

Making me dream of better skies;

The constellations dance with me

As I twirl in the chilly air 

On numbing bare feet;

Their brilliant lights

Shine a disco ball

All around me

Until I fall dizzy,

Laughing and giggling,

My energy temporarily restored;

My stars love me

And care for me

As they help me see

Beyond the fear of the darkness;

My stars are my own.
