To a Distant Star

Oh my Dear,
you burned so bright,
so warm,
so near.

I felt the heat of you,
The love of you,
The joy of you.

We came so close
And traveled our destined road
For a time so brief.
It seemed a lifetime.
It was nothing
but a flash.
It was just
A warm summer breeze.

Then you were gone.

Now you are so distant.
Never cold
Just so very,
Very far away.

You are the same bright sun
You always were
But tonight
You illuminate
Another life,
Another heart,
Another world

Were I'll never be.
