The Home star

I miss home.....

Starring up at the sky

which is not yet dark

though it's past 9

just to see if it was clear.

Just to see if the stars were out.

For the stars connect me

back to my home

back to the east.

But the clouds block the sky

and I'm left with no connection.

The service is blocked

I can't reach home.

I slunk back into my bed.

Hoping that tomorrow night

the stars would come out

to comfort me.
