Stars

They call us to their heart
When the evening comes in
Love songs that never do depart
In their delighting spin
Their cast’s of many dark ways
Under the starry dusk sky
Until again dawn meets day
And clouds will drift on by

They give us meanings like dreams
For every occasional song
And in their gleaming beams
They make our feelings long
The nights with stars so bright
And glowing to us from afar
Filling our yearnings with light
From each falling wishing star
