Forgotten Stars
Stars scattered across the black canopy of the earth.
Each with the lure of a siren.
The streak of a shooting star catches your eye.
It burns bright, only for a moment.
As you return to the city the stars become harder to see.
The lights of the city blind you from all but the brightest stars.
Time passes in a blur of repetition.
You no longer look up to the sky.
Every now and again a glimmer hints to a feeling you are missing something.
A night, a chance encounter, unexpected words, an authentic moment.
And once again you can see the stars.
