Stars
We all wait for that defining moment
That one event in our lives that’ll awaken our purpose
The reason to live
The reason to achieve
To reach for the stars
and grab ahold of one
What if the star we’re reaching for is too high
What if we spend our entire lives looking at just one
Negating the infinite paths lit by others
I stare up at the heavens
Reaching with one hand
Wrapping my fingers
Around a single star
Watching it disappear
Into my fist …
Only to see it appear
As soon as I draw away
To embrace that defining moment
I assumed I had
Only to realize
It’s out of my grasp
Was I too late
Can I shift directions
Can I find a closer star
One I can touch
With my fingertips
Not just my eyes …
