She offered him her star.
Carefully laid in finest tissue cloud,
Wrapped it in the rainbow
And ribboned it with sun.

She traveled far,
Jumping through the rings of Saturn,
In an endless circle
Did she run.

There he stood at center
With arms held close about himself
Allowing her no entrance
Into his universe.
Caring nothing for the distance
She so willingly had traversed.

With arms held close about himself,
He couldn’t feel
The fervent beating of her heart
With eyes shut tight,
He scorned her gift.
His gravity too much to bear,
Her orbit fell apart.

Away she spun
Into infinity
Looking for a place to hang her star.
Unwittingly
She came across
What she had lost
And found a new welcome
In the old place called home.

• You and I have the same guiding star,
• That pulls us together wherever we are.
• When the winds of life scheme to force us apart,
• Their plans are foiled from the very start.
• For you and I have the same guiding star.

• What is this power that keeps you so dear
• Whether we’re distant or whether we’re near?
• I thought it was love, but it’s stronger than love.
• The light that guides us shines from one star above.
• Yes, you and I have the same guiding star.
