A Poem For The Stars

The sky does not belong to me;

It is too vast for me to grasp.

Still it will not let me be;

It wishes to hold me till I gasp. 

 

The stars do not belong to me;

They are too large for me to hold. 

Yet they will not set me free.

They will burn me till I\'m cold. 

 

The planets do not belong to me;

They would crush me with their weight.

Even now they are closing in on me;

They will bring me to my fate.

 

The universe does not belong to me; 

It is far too endless an entity.

Never will it let me flee,

It holds me hostage by my identity.

 

I do not belong to the universe.

I am too small and insignificant. 

Still I will cling like a pesky curse,

To the wonderful and the magnificent.
