Stars

I look at the sky with tears in my eyes and I feel small.
My problems, insignificant, my worries remnant from a time
In which all was still possible-- all was a fantasy and graspable!
I look at the sky and feel so small, worthless,
And in the grand scheme of things the world wouldn't stop
If my heart stopped singing for a while...
And I can't help but feel that one will make a difference
And my rivers would become one with the silence..
But with tears in my eyes, I can see Orion,
My dearest friend whom I can always cry on..
And he comforts me as he climbs through the sky
Telling me "Darling don't cry, you have to be low
Before you are high, so keep your tears for you
Cannot yet die."
