I dreamt you moved on
through the muted green background
of the phones that once connected us.
The growing silence,
the spaced messages;
I tried to find the answers
to the universe’s rhetorical questions.
I dreamt you were a leaf
drifting along a stream to the ocean
full of the possibilities that once connected us.
Kissing me along the way,
resting for a moment,
enjoying the space;
we pondered the universe’s rhetorical questions,
for there is no use keeping you from the experiences you seek.
I dreamt you moved on
through to the muted green tides
of the oceans that now connect us.

A twinkling star shines high in the starry night
On each dim, I send a smile to it
A silent prayer for me, a stellar smile for you
Alone we are not. One star is always ours
We stand apart, like sky and sea
Each one on its own, but always aware of each other
The same winds move our existences, for freedom is our essence
We own the weight of the lives that traverse through us
A twinkling star shines high in the starry night
On each dim, I send a smile to it
Moving forward in this endless world
Always smiling to that one star of ours
I pray my smile always reaches yours
let it be our little piece of eternity
Tomorrows will come and go
the star I put my hopes on may not be there anymore
the smile I sent, lost will be forever
But I’ll send up my soul; let it be a new star
We will be apart, for the eternity to come
But I’ll pray no more, for sure I will be
That the smile I send, will always reach you
when you look up the starry night sky
