Seeing Stars

Staring into the heavens
When stars are falling
All around you--
You may miss them,
Their shimmering light
Like no other when they’re near,
To guide you through your fear.
Wonders that will never end--
Like the rising sun when you sleep,
Or the beggar you ignored,
Or the phone call you never made
May leave you in the darkest shade…
If you wish stars to fall,
You may wonder
What you have missed,
And at what heaven you
Were staring at at all.
