The Distant Star Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

the distant star...
glows dim in the sky
from a billion miles
competing with nearer stars
for your attention
your time and love
your heart and soul

the distant star...
ever so alone
in the pot of darkness
never tires to shine
never give ups the race
never complains
never steals others' light
and never sleeps

the distant star...
calls your name
in a loud voice of stars
lost in the vast space of the universe
almost never reaching you
except for your sharp ears
your replied with a smile

the distant star...
cries day and night
tears so hot
they shine in the sky
a billion miles away
on the cheeks of the star
they flow forever

the distant star...
with longs arms stretched
wanting to embrace and hug you
with the warmth of a star
to caress and love you
with the heart of a star
to write your name
in the heart of a star

the distant star...
is not so distant after all
is not so lonely after all
is not crying after all
is not sad after all
is not embarrassed after all
is not so dim after all
It is a STAR after all
