I want to write to the world and say...

I want to write to the world and say:

Look at the stars

What do you see?

Mere balls of gas

That are more

Than just to

Be wished upon

That have lived longer

Than you and I

And all our dreams

That live in galaxies

That are bigger than our

Hearts

And what we hope for

That are so far away

As though impossible

To reach

Unlike our goals

Seen through the light

That brightens our path

And where to go

I sometimes can see

A star shooting past

Faster than we can walk

Or run

To get to where we are going

Is our wish to speed up time

To find love

Before those we love

So loneliness

Doesn’t take over

Even though we are surrounded

By stars

We see

And watch

And sometimes wish we could be

So I write to the world again

And say

Look upon the flowers and trees

They have grown from small seeds

They do not live a long life

But live one of freedom and vivid colours to

Simply grow and grow some more

Organically and so

With water and food

And the people that pass them by

As simple as it is

To the world I say

Those stars

Are maybe just too

Far away...
