Do you think the stars are lonely?
Are they lost out there in space?
Are they trapped in gravitational fields,
never to escape?
Or are they themselves
creating the pull,
drawing celestial bodies to them?
Reaching for another star
but luring in rocks instead?
Do they see each other’s glow
across billions of light years?
Flickering a fiery Morse code,
they dim then reappear.
They pepper the canvas of space
playing connect the dots
but every single angle
brings a different result.
Every tilt and shift
presents a different view.
What things look like to me
don’t look that way to you.
I think the stars are lonely
but they’re still glad to give.
They burn to provide light.
They burn so others live.
