Starlight

The stars are shining
bright
A girl in  aroom
alone
Wondering
if the starlight
will brighten
her lonely life...

And she sits
alone in the room
waiting, hoping
for the starlight
to enter her life.

But deep inside
she knows
the small flickering
starlight
is just a dream,
a white dream
in a black world.

Written 01/02/1993. Written during one of my depressions. When they hit me, I always saw everything as black and white.
