a billion stars in the sky
then one special one came by
dancing delightfully singing its song
nothing possibly could go wrong
the star found its way into my heart
and of myself, I gave all parts
together the love lit my day
together the love inspired my way
how different each moment was then
how joyful and easy my time did spend

all seemed possible in the light
all was beautiful till that night
now that the love has gone
no joy or smile is left in my song
how do I return to what I once had
it is gone forever, increasingly sad
gathering the pieces is no easy path
fragments of love drowned in a grief bath
weeping, I step through the day
weeping…with only emptiness to pay

The way we start the day with hopefulness can dwindle as the day faces obstacles and hurdles coming to the end of day. Where we feel like we didn’t accomplish all we expected and we are bereft to lose the day. It could be about life, love or simply a day which passed us by. Great poem and so many ways to view it. Almost, Jane, like “Art is in the eye of the beholder.” 🙂
