Night Sky

Like the planets
   resist the pull
of the burning sun
   in a sky that's full
of black holes, asteroids
   falling stars
the pull for me is wherever you are.

Like a moonbeam
   trips the tide
like a watch that ticks
   with the beat inside
how my heart subsisted
   I never knew
til the day I met
   and fell for you.

Like the age old sun
   that may burn itself out
like the stars that scatter
   and fall about
the earth, the sea, the sand
and sky
what I'm feeling now may someday die.

But like the evening sky
   that first wishing star
the ghosts of galaxies
   near and far
a shooting star
   that's burned down to an ember;
my head may forget you
but my heart will remember.
