Tears of the Stars

A crying star
that's not ready to fall.
The light is dim,
but refuses to fade away.
So it will continue weeping.
Its tears flowing way down
to the ocean.

But the ocean is just a mirror;
A reflection of all the stars
glittering in the dark.
All these stars have dreamed
a thousand dreams.
And just like the stars themselves,
some dreams have had
their lights dimmed
and fade away into darkness.

Others remain weeping.
Is there no respite;
no quenching of their
immortal desire?

But still others continue
to shine brightly.
The light of a thousand suns
to warm all the hearts
of innumerable planets
beyond.

Brighter still are the drops
that crash into the ocean
generateripples
transform into waves
that depart from the ocean surface
to form new stars
that shine the brightest.
