The lone star

A lone star twinkles,

Vanishing from my sight.

Blinking to a beat,

One can't hear.

I ask it to stop

The blinking and twinkling

It says to me,

I shan't today. 

It matches my heart,

The rhythm of the star,

It looks down on my windowsill.

Where I sit with wonder,

Looking up at the sky

My heart doesn't seem to still.

I stare at the star,

And it stares at me back

A game we play all night.

For morning shall come,

The dark blanket disperse, 

And I shall stare solemnly at the sky.

2 am thoughts, a star caught my fancy. Need I say more?  :)
