GLITTERING AS A STAR

GLITTERING AS A STAR

Sometimes I stare gazing at stars in heaven
Wondering how they glitter all night
Illuminating lights to the earth.

Sometimes I’ll have sweet dreams of how I travelled up there and made friends with the stars,
We’ll grin and laugh all day forgetting the anxiety that had followed me there earlier.

Sometimes we’d while away time telling tales of life’s billows
Tales of how people who on the verge of succeeding and becoming stars
ended up losing their shadow to the brutal grip of the ever hungry death who sees pleasure in making new friends.

Sometimes I’d be asked by these stars to break my fears and shortcomings on a rock,
I should ki*ll and eat chickens, turkeys and or even corks.
They would even say “wear cute smiles and beautiful grin, for one day you shall glitter, shine and become like us”
