The Star and I - Poem

The Star and I

By BushMaid

~*~*~*~

I saw a star shine in the sky,

Its glowing red, it caught my eye.

The colour strange, I wondered why

A crimson tinge would hail it nigh.

It bade me ponder, by and by:

Was it just born, or soon to die?

A mystery, it sails up high - 

A lonely sparkle on the fly.

One in billions, I scarce can try

To count the stars that light the sky.

But this one spark, it drew my eye - 

Its bleeding colour made me cry.

Its crimson scarlet like a dye,

It longs to stain the world gone by -

And on its own permeate the sky,

To bring a light to every eye.

So lonely like the star, am I -

A different colour on the fly.

With all I am, I want to try

Permeate my world below the sky.

I am just born, and soon to die,

Life - like the star - goes quickly by.

One in billions, the star and I -

Permeate the world? Well, we can try.
