Sparkles...

She sits and stares
Eyes upwards,
gaze transfixed...

The moon and stars
twinkle in the twilight.
They shimmer and shine
glowing brightly...

She sobs quietly
in her desolate place.
Tears glimmer and glisten

Oblivious to her pain,
the man in the moon
tilts and twirls about
the world.

Hands pale and long
grip the dirt.
As her heart
pounds and hurts.

The stars
sparkle and shine
Unmindful of the
lives they intertwine.

Her life lays
in shatters.
Yet the skies above,
continue to move.

The stars and moon
make promises..
Ones they cannot keep

And meanwhile she hopes
for eternal sleep.
