The Girl of Stars

The stars, she says, are beautiful
The sky waits for the dark and takes them out
The planets spinning, galaxies whirling
So she watches the sky for the stars

The stars may be beautiful, but so is music
And so she picks up a violin
The sky rends to pieces and the stars weep
As the heavens move in their cosmic dance

The stars may shine their dusty lights on her
But she can love too, so love she does
A boy with stars in his eyes and rocks beneath his feet
One person out of hundreds, thousands

She lives like the stars
Brilliant, fiery, throwing out light
Reserved, spinning, somehow lonely
So she finds others like her

The stars light up all that's around
So she illuminates petty lives
Sees hidden things, with help and hope
Like a mother, but just too far

Stars burn within, casting her away
She is a star, with her planets and moons
The wonders of science, the beauty of music
The joy of friends, the worries of life
She could be a star
