NORTH STAR

The sun is bright today placed somewhere
in the baby-blue eyed sky.
a mixed wind, smelling of hickory smoke
with last summer's warmth swirled inside
slap
the earth and it's inhabitants.

And I can't help to think of you.

I see the words you said and the actions you did
masquerade as paper thin clouds that drift
slowly through my mind.

Stranded, am I, in crazy dreams, wishes, and hopes.
no matter how hard I try-
I am not free.

As your words shocked and stunned me and now the memories
are blurry and forgotten.

After all you made a big impact on me
like a meteor the size of Texas
crashing into Earth.
And after all you made me feel real good
even if you didn't try.

I'll always keep a place for you in my sky.
You'll be my north star
Shining bright so I'll never be lost at night.
