How do you catch a star?Do you wait for one?
Night after night, do you plead?
Do you plan?
Do you beg?Do you buy nets and telescopes and jam-jars?
Do you read books and and recipes?
Do you wait and prepare?
When you lose hope, do you console yourself with falsehoods?
Do you cry, do you sob?
Morning after morning, do you breathe in air which has no benefit?
Does time pass whilst filling the heart with sadness?
Do you numb your soul by placing it in a cage?
Do you after a while realise the beauty in the tragedy?
Do you understand that you cant catch a star?
Do you gaze at the wonder of it, and appreciate and be thankful?
Do you breathe in the sheer wonder of it?
Do you realise you can never catch it?
After this all, do you see it shoot suddenly across the sky?
Do you see it fall gently in the palm of your hands?
Do you close your eyes?
Do you cup your hands gently to look after the fragility of it?
Can you believe?
Do you dare to believe?
Do you allow yourself to believe?
Can you?
