First Star

You are the first star

In the heavens tonight

Piercing the dark northern sky,

Racing the moon to the

End of horizons,

Wiping a tear from my eye.

 

Nobody told me that

You were a teaser.

I was at ease with your light,

But you were so fleeting

I couldn’t catch you and

You disappeared in the night.

 

Caution was warned but

Quickly abandoned

As you put me under your spell.

Chasing a dream

Choosing at random

Listening to hear all the stories you tell.

 

Tell me you’ll stay.

Give me something to cling to

When dawn comes to steal you away.

Your precious light will not

Fade with the morning.

You will be with me…

Always.
