Distant Star

There you are 

in my night sky 

like a distant star 

 

to wish upon 

and suddenly 

problems are gone 

 

I hold your image 

I sing your song 

protected in my heart 

all day long 

 

I send a message 

make a poem 

just to make 

the connection strong 

 

until the morning comes 

again burnt by the sun 

slaving life away 

for some hungry mob 

 

my distant star 

one day I’ll be 

where you are 

there in the sky 

 

this love will 

fly me there 

and make you 

mine
