Stars

Ocean and sky met at its peak

of lost images that are no longer within our grasp

and yet a moment away

in all that we ever could seek.

On star filled nights walking alone on the boardwalk of hope

that is endless and eternal

from Brighton to Coney

and back again within our scope.

The tall buildings that dot the every changing sky,

that is darkened by night

with only twilight images

that remind us that he could never die.

For his image is as present as that fretful day

when he looked me in the eye

and merely faded away

to a place far better

with a painless hue,

where sunsets are golden

and every sky is crystal clear and blue.

I long for him in my dreams

and grieve for him in my heart

and hurt for him for all that it seems

now that we are apart.

And yet in the horizon that bespeaks

a prison in life without any bars

I see him again in eternal youth

and know that he lives among the most magnificent stars.
