inspirational poetry by Robert Whiteowl

I look at the stars in the sky,

and have to stop and ponder ... why;

I wonder what that light is for,

is it to another door?

Are there people on the other side,

would they look like me or have a different hide?

Do they wonder about the stars above,

and do they have a concept called Love?

How far would you say i have to go,

in order to find out and really know?

Would it take a lifetime or would it be more'

before I finally reach the light behind the door?

Every night, I look at the stars in the sky,

it's as though they're blinking to my eye,

sending me a signal that i can not read,

is it an invitation or a warning to take heed?

I can't stop looking at the vast sea of lights;

maybe it's purpose is to keep away the things of fright.

All i know is that i'm happy when i see,

all those lights blinking back at me.

What they are there for, i really can not say,

all i know, I'm thankful for at night they guide my way.

So, if you ever find out why they are in the sky,

please don't tell me, cause i'm enjoying wondering why.

LIGHTS IN THE SKY
