looking up at a starry night
millions of eyes stare back
an endless expanse ever
surrounding the world
the beauty of something
so magnificent really
stops me in my tracks
during the day, the sun is out
hiding the stars from sight
yet when the day is over
the evening star rises
the beginning of night
leaves me wanting to see
more stars in the skies
shining brightly through the night
one star will call to me
yet I don’t know which one
with so many looking down
someday, I know I’ll find out
if there are so many stars
up there in the heavens
why can’t I have just one
night only lasts so long
so I will wait forever
for just one star
