Stars

I find hope in the stars

I watched the stars appear

One by one they came

Like tiny beacons of hope

From the slowly darkening sky

Although I was alone

I could hear the voices of those stars

Telling me to stay calm

Saying it would be okay

I stared at them,

Spoke to them

About the future

And what it would hold for a girl like me

A girl with dreams too big

For this town,

For this world

They told me to hold on

As we spoke of the world,

My stars began to disappear,

One by one, their light was drowned

By the slowly rising sun

As the last one flickered out

I heard him whisper to me

“You will be great, young one,

I have seen the things you will do”

Since that night,

I have returned to the hill I had been on

But the stars never speak up

They have gone to help another

I d like to say things that would analyis your writing but refuse to because what you wrote was personal and dosn't need explaining. I like the concept of talking to the stars and having a conversation. I too like to look empty into the sky and word my thoughts outloud as if Im being heard.

This is so beautiful. Though it may be lonely and fictional, I found this very uplifting and wish fulfilling. You do wonderful work, the way that you write just makes it seem so real, like a recap on a memory.
