Star Hopes

Hoping on a star
knowing a wish
is just a fancy word
for gamble
believing
that over there
at the end of this journey
is a man
hoping on the very same star
and our auras will
traverse the universe
like spirits do
and in a matter of minutes
that seem like
years
his voice will grace my ears
my voice will calm his fears
hoping on a star
that patience is more than
a virtue but a deep imbedded
precipice
because some days it feels
like I'm falling, reeling even
and not towards love
but an empty
abyss
