The lost traveler

I venture the great unknown

to find meaning in a life uncertain.

For I am a traveler in the dark;

someone who has lost their spark.

To the skies, I look to borrow

the many specks of glittering light.

Thinking I might be rid of sorrow

and my world might once again turn bright.

The stars hear my whisper

and give a wonderful show.

They present a shower of color

that somehow makes me feel at home.

The parade of starlight ends,

the skies are once again dark.

I am still a lost traveler,

but hope fills my heart.
