Stars
I have never seen the stars
I have longingly gazed up
And found only afterthoughts
Unconscious balls of fire
Hurtling through an indifferent vacuum
They were born in that vacuum
They will die in that vacuum
Before they flicker out
They will inspire
Ideas of greatness
Promises of eternal love
Hope for something more
Curiosity for the uncertain
But I have never seen them
I have questioned them
Forgotten them
Assumed they were there
But with each passing moment
They move in only one direction
Away
