It Won\'t Be Long

A teacher once told me

we are made of star dust

each of us have our own galaxy

rushing through our body

each of us, a solar system

 

Maybe that is why

I feel so close to the stars

maybe that is why

I look into the night sky

and for the first time since the last time, 

I feel understood

 

They know what I feel without a single word,

they twinkle down at me in unison

as I lay back on dew touched grass

 

They wait for me to join them

and I promise them

it won\'t be long
