See the stars
Above your head,
A friend of mine once said
That they're the people you love
Who are now dead.
She told me that when people die
They become a star
High in the sky.
Those tiny dots of silver
So insignificant,
Yet so important...
Just looking at them
Makes your worries disappear,
And all of a sudden
Your mind is wonderfully clear.
A moment of clarity
And a sprinkle of stars
Is all you need,
To be in a state of bliss
And for one to succeed.
They look smaller than a mouse,
But, in actual fact,
Are bigger than a house.
The art of deception
They are very good at,
Once you've taken one look
There's no going back,
Seeing them there,
In their home so black.
The dark background
That they're always on,
As if stitched onto navy velvet
They will always belong.
In the sky at night
If you're passing through,
Just take a look above your head
And you might see someone up there
Who means a lot to you...
