"The Right Star"

Are the stars out tonight?
A space of black scattered with white.
Has dark ever looked so bright?
Midnight shadows filled with light.

Stars they flash dreams that have come and gone;
Can this dream hold on?
Dreams they bloom only to become withdrawn;
Is this a wish I can rest upon?

Maybe it’s nothing,
So many nothings.
Oh, but what if it’s something?
The best kind of something,

The kind that swirls black into white,
Stardust raining on night.
My heart will take flight,
Star wishing gone right.

I really like this poem... I'm trying to interpret it and I REALLY want to hear about your life. Why did Torrey have to make us miss Wednesday!!!?!? Soon.
