Twinkle twinkle lonely star
I wonder…
if alone
are you still hot enough
to warm the cold space that surrounds you?
do you affect your environment
or like us mortal,
just consumed by it?
for we only see the luster of your exterior
like each other
aware of your chemistry
we act as if your composition is solely elemental
is their life in you
a destiny
a humanity calling out within your celestial nature,
are you made to shine within a whole
or apart and alone
heating the cold
because you rarely stand out
stars so far from you,
shine and seem so close
ironic..
how it can seem so crowded up there
and its anything but
maybe sad even
seeing so many
but knowing no one
disconnected
aware of what makes you the same
though distance is difference
just like people
those closest shine brightest
but you still wonder about the others out there
do they feel like you..
maybe we’re the same
you and I
never truly alone
though we feel it
finding our way
being stuck in place
and somehow we still stand out
or shine, so to speak
seen for what we offer
a small light
thru the sucking darkness
twinkle twinkle
I no longer wonder
