I Look Up The Sky

i look up
the sky finding you
to be a very bright star

and i ponder
if i down here
a pebble on the grass
silent and left alone
by my companion
if you still
remember me

for once i was once
a star too
shining beside you

it was love
that pulled me down
to earth
on the mud

and i pray
that it will be the same
love that died
shall pull me up
to redeem
my lost glory

but somehow
i like it here
beside a mound
where flowers grow
someone i love
is buried by
the thick grass
in silence
