Starlight

When I look up at the sky
There are many stars I see
But they lie so far away
Their beauty is unknown to me

I have tried to reach out before
Have jumped high on my feet
I have tried to open heaven's door
So starlight would rain down on me

But no matter how far I reach
Every star I touch fades away
There is nothing left but dark holes
In many places of my heart it seems

Today, I wake up to brightness
Is it another star, another dream
She has something beyond all the shapes
That in this world I have already seen

Those piercing eyes, that heavenly smile
The flavor of life in my heart she breathes
I dare not reach out to this beautiful sight
Until this light first reaches out to me

Don't fade away!!!
