The Star Poem by Danny Speicher

Tonight somewhere there brightly shines a star
Spectators mesmerized by brilliant rays
Will speak of its aura day after day
While sit, I, and dream its beauty afar

I danced in its rays once upon a time
Dreamt of nothing less than what I beheld
Wanted for nothing more than hope upheld
What more could a man want than what was mine

Tonight somewhere there brightly shines a star
I could lament that I'll not see its light
That nothing's there to illuminate night
And only dream of its beauty afar

But, how could I abide in dismay
When, alas, I once basked the star's display
