Poems - For The Lonely

Poem 9: "Lonely Stars"

Lonely Stars

Bright, hot, blazing
balls of fire.

up close,
they are huge.

But,
from afar,
You see lonely dots
sitting in their named spots
waiting for the people
to draw lines
to connect them
like a crossword puzzle.

So beautiful
It's hard to tell:

They are lonely
Like me and you.
