It perches, high, in the bleak winter sky,
Mocking the sunrise, twinkling for my eyes.

It reminds me to enjoy being alone.

Moments when I need peace.
Solitude. Reflection. Or quick release.

It also reminds me of the sparks of love.

The minutes of my good day kiss.
Child adoration. A new friend missed.

Today, it felt like a whole new thing.

A sign of what’s to come.
My future. Glittering above.

A new star. The last star. My star.
