                      STARS
the stars will last longer
than these words ever will,
indifferent as ever.

they are simply there.
we can see them,
yet they don't care.

the reason for their presence
really doesn't matter.
they don't pass sentence.

beautiful they will always be,
and forever inspirational
to more people than me.

in them lovers see hope,
scientists see the future,
and i can see how to cope.

in their bright and solitary gaze
we feel at peace, finally protected.
able to soar above life's craze.
