The last star
As the last star fades away
So does my hope and my fear.
Empty, floating through space
A mere grain in the vastness of a desert.

The last star fades and so do I
Until that great light spreads its yellowy fingers across the sky.

The return of warmth
The return of hope
The return of joy.

Though the sun scatters shadow across the land, bringing beauty and laughter.
The peace of the fading stars keeps a hold on my heart.
A reminder that all things come to an end
The good and the bad.

The last star tells me to live and enjoy whatever life brings
With thanks
With love
With hope.
