Stars (Blast From the Past Entry)

Another poem by yours truly. I think it's a bit more upbeat than the ones I've posted in the past (here and here). It's one of my favorites.

Current mood: calm

Here's a poem that I wrote a couple of months ago. Please let me know what you think. It's regarding my fear of being hurt by anybody that I may get close with. I can imagine the voice of Mira Furlan (from Babylon 5) reading it aloud. The third to last line is actually right from the fifth season of Babylon 5.

Stars

The sun went down on my world,

Covering me in darkness.
Blackest pitch, deepest hurt,
Unprotected in the night.

A new star shines in the darkness,
Go to the star, reach for it.
No! Stay away from that star!
It can scorch me, burn me.

The promise of warmth,
The threat of fire.
I want to reach out,
But I fear the flames.

I must find my own light once again,
Be the brightest star in my sky.
Soon, I too can be a star,
And then...we can fly.
