Analysis of Starlight



Starlight
I can see the stars
Above and beyond me
My world far below
I cannot fathom
What I can see
Beyond the realms
Of the earth
Starlight
The shining glory
So far away
Yet so close to my soul
Touch of the dust
Spreading the life
Eternal souls
Awakening the days
When we all can be
Starlight
