What makes stars romantic? Is it the beauty Of a night sky dark lit with diamonds? Or the wilderness of blue-white witnesses Staring wordless back across the abyss? Or the fascination of forever? (For love Is a fragment of forever lodged in the heart.) Is it the need for two when one seems so small? The desire to touch in the temple? The vast, lonely Field of life in which love, too, is a light Amidst darkness? (So many lovers scattered across The black canopy like burning dust.) Or is it the passion at a star's heart? The heat of love lighting the emptiness, Hurling its ardor across light years of sorrow To tell us something about what yearns within?
