The stars
seem so far away
tonight
and the Aurora Borealis
slow to come.
Thinking about
all I’ve done.
How I ended up
right here.
It’s hard to think
about all that had to happen
in the universe,
for us to come this far,
and then I wonder
how I ever felt close to the stars.
In the darkness,
fading sky.
I wonder if I can
make it right?
So much has gone on
on this side,
I wonder what the stars see
through their eyes.
