Stars that shine high in the sky

hear my prayer and grant my wish tonight

I have struggled to find the words to express how your beauty cast shadows in my sight

wondering on a path that leads nowhere right

sacrificing my joy and passion to see the warm glow of your shine,

hindering my light, my happiness, and my peace

Stars that shine celestially

enlighten my soul, my heart, and my thoughts

I’m struggling to stay afloat

as the waves of the sea try to swallow me whole

finding it hard to see the shore

no lifeguard in sight

is all hope lost?

Stars that radiate in the night sky

please grant my wish tonight

I wish to have peace in my heart

a love in my walk

words that soothe instead of hurt

I want to be the girl who dreams upon a star

who finds joy in the little things

I want my arms to be a home to myself

and not a stranger smothering me whole

_

Stars that shine in the vast darkness overhead

scatter dust on this path, illuminated by a faint light

be a beacon as I sail through this storm of life

cradle my soul in your arms

and guide me to the place called “home”
