#164 Searching For Stars...

I am often searching for stars

on a clear night

or even those flashing asteroids

across the sky

which left home a million years

so just to quench

my gleaming eyes;

or perhaps the moon lighting

from a distance unknown

so just to know

there's a shadow around

so just this night

I am not alone...

Each of these far away rocks

hold a story within

not the people but

the memories they have seen

our walks way back home

and all the talks they heard at night

it seems a long time ago

each one captured in time;

and so I search, search

and look for these

shiny broken stones

so just this night

I am not alone...
