Remembrance of Me

15 3 2
                                    

Why am I always chasing after

stars out of reach in the sky?

When my wings are broken and useless,

and I don't even know how to fly?


Why do I stare at the heavens,

and wish for angels in the clouds?

When I'm trapped on the cold earth

and rooted firm in the desolate ground?


What would the galaxies want

with a wandering soul in the dark?

When there are comets amongst the planets,

that leave sparkling trails in their hearts?


I'll cut out a sail from my dreams,

and crash my cracked ship in the sea.

I doubt there'll be any stars in heaven,

that will shine in remembrance of me.
