Fading Stars Poem by Karen TeichCluster

Fading Stars



We never made it to the moon,
But we caught a few falling stars.
We'd hold them lovingly near our hearts,
And then watch helplessly as they faded away.

Like the fire-flies we chased
On those warm summer nights;
Wanting them to burn brightly forever,
And knowing they'd be gone in the morning light,
Because we'd selfishly kept them from flying free.
