The Star

She stands facing the ocean, majestic in awe Her tears flooding freely for all that is gone It is the not knowing why, she whispers aloud An emptiness inside she cannot understand She did her best, to be his lover, his friend The crying won't stop, will this ever end She wipes away a tear, a light catches her eye She looks up, it disappears; figures she says She brushes the sand off her trembling body The light reappears and it is a solitude star It is tiny and far, though brilliantly lit She stands up tall and faces the star She asks for guidance, the how and the why The star flashes once, then dimly fades away She pauses and stares, what does this mean This tiny star will guide her to hope She feels this light will carry her far To a place as calm; as the brightly lit star.
