Stars & Headlights

Someone once said we're all like stars

Shining bright and beautiful in our own way

But...stars are just so far

And you can't see them in the day

Even though you know they're there

We're always moving, and stars stay where they're put

Maybe, then, we're more like cars then stars

Always rushing about life

And occasionally we all get together and park

Some of us are on highways

Some on country roads

All trying to get home

Headlights blazing in the night

Something beautiful about that thought

Always moving towards a destination

Even though most of us don't know what that destination might be

Some of us think we know

But none of us really do

And sometimes you crash and burn

But you repair and you keep driving

Maybe you need to find a new one if it's bad

It requires a full overhaul but still you drive

And you make up places you think are destinations as you go

Just headlights down the road

Vanishing and reappearing

Sometimes they stay longer

Like a roadtrip

Like a caravan

Stars are to still

Most times you're just passing by

Just long enough to notice the other
