Shining Star

Changing The World

March 11, 2008

When I was younger

The teachers taught

That one day we could change the world

With our imaginations

As children

We made the world ours

But as the years go by

And the lessons are learned

The more our minds are confined

To how the world will be forever

Shining Star

The star I watch is much too glorious

To approach and feel, I will get burned

Enchanted, unnoticed, I move closer

The intensity so powerful it almost hurts

But it does not, not yet

Hearing my name, calling me back

I can, but I don't return

Weakness as strong as two magnets

Each blink draws me forward

Burning flame, please go out

Before life ends in your heart
