There Is A New Star Shining In The Sky Tonight...

There is an old belief that the stars
that shine in the night sky
are the spirits of those who have died.
They have shed their earthly bodies
and exchanged them for bodies made of light;
thousands upon thousands of our dearly departed
friends who all promoted to glory in the night sky.

There is another saying that
the brightest flame burns the shortest.
My friend, you were the brightest star in my universe.
While I burn on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair
at your passing, the stars are watching me.
They are too far away for me to touch,
just as you have gone somewhere
I cannot follow until my own star-time comes.
They cannot be held close for comfort,
just as I can no longer hold you close,
though I held you close to
comfort you in your earth hours.
We were together for such a short time,
but the stars will burn forever.
One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body,
my own star-time will come and my spirit
will soar into the sky to burn with all
those friends who have gone before me.
On the inky cloth of space
we will be reunited in constellations of joy.
Until then, my flame burns low and dim
and cold without you. Through my tears I look
upwards to see if you are
watching me and what do I see?
There is a new star shining in the sky tonight.

Sometimes we shine with the rest,
sometimes we twinkle alone
and sometimes,
when we least expect it,
we make someone's dreams come true!"
