A Falling Star

Views (20) Tragedy Created on 4-8-08 Flag
 Seems like we’ve gotten so far

And yet still there’s so much left to travel

Like reaching up to capture a star

That’s how far from you I feel right now 

I see your face in the patterns of the sky

I need to feel you by my side

My heart stretches forth to receive any reply

But all I can hear is silence 

 As I whisper words into the darkness

The light of night comes down catching my eye

I feel the breeze rushing, bringing a convicting coldness

Empty lights hold no comfort tonight 

This distance burns me

Leaving scars I cannot erase

This heartache consumes me

Underneath this sky I wait 

Do these brilliant lights I see

Even know that I exist

Does this breeze brushing against me

Even feel that I am here 

Though we’ve gotten this far

Looking back I feel so small

My dimly glowing star

So weak compared to the sun you left behind 

I feel your presence alive all around

In lives everywhere but within mine

I’ve become a falling star crashing to the ground

So distant from where you placed me in the sky 

I speak all the words that I know

But still they don’t make you any more near

In this cold night I’m frozen like winter snow

Looking up I see the light 

This distance burns me

Heating what was cold

This heartache consumes me

Reaching out towards the light 

I’m a falling star

That has skidded across icy ground

I’ve come so far

But I can’t raise myself up  

Underneath this sky I wait

Thawing out the scars I’ve made

Looking up into the coming light

Seeing the hope in the rising sun 

As it comes the darkness breaks

The sun lifting me up off the ground

Rising up my scars it takes

Placing me back into the sky 

I once was a falling star

But the old has once again been replaced

Shining again I can only go so far

But in this sky I’m not alone 

Each time I fail, I will be lifted

Each cut I receive, shall be taken

And once again I know I shall be tested

But all the miles traveled have their guiding purpose
