One Bright Star

I sat at my bay window,

eyes glazed,

unexpectant and content,

peering upon those midnight stars, 

all billions of miles away. 

I closed my eyes for a small moment,

a mere star had never stood out to me, among all others alike,

nonetheless, when they awoke, 

they mistakenly fixated upon her. 

My eyes were welcomed with a small, but undeniable glimmer.

I discovered, 

she shone a little brighter than all the rest. 

Letting go this sheer fact would never be a possibility again. 

For the duller stars began to fade behind the clouds,

and she became the only star I could see.
