***Gone But Not Forgotten***The universe, adorned with stars and light Can captivate, we marvel at the glare.Wishing on them in despair; not completely unaware That our eyes take pleasure and delight In stars that are not there.Though space has claimed the stars of night It somehow missed the show of light That glows no matter how we try To tell ourselves the light’s a lie.To see the distant from afar Is to keep the wish, if not the star.
