Among the Stars that Shine

When Did She Vanish

Her bright eyes and tinkling laughter lit up the environment,
She continued to be the same even though several years had passed,
Age had not taken a toll on her beauty
But one day the gleam vanished
She was enveloped in total darkness
A darkness from where there was no way back
A light emerging from the distant horizon
Ready to embrace her with open arms
Away from this world she went
Yet so within it she seemed,
Lighting up everyone she had come
Lighting up everyone she went...
