Walking down the stairs gives me chance to reflect

A swing and a twirl

I see a flash of pink

Like that of a sunset

Rising and falling the edge just barely brushing the ground

I watch mesmerized by the flow

Like the sun has when it hits just right on the edge

Of darkness and light

Catching the color of dark blue

I see the partner that dances with you

Wrapped in darkness

He guides you with certainty

Like the moon has for thousands of years

He spins you both to where I see his back

The bounce of curls in his short hair

Defy gravity like what we find on the moon

The two of you make a show

To everyone that tells a story of the sun and moon

How they dance every day and night

When the changing of light and darkness takes place

In sync you two do not need help

For you both know this dance

For thousands of years this has been happening

I stand alone watching

Like the stars do when they gaze upon

You both, wishing to be a part of something sacred

Though I shine myself

I do not hold a candle to the light that is you both

You spin behind the pink and blue to make

A beautiful sight, one that makes me

Think of the sun encroaching on the night

Giving it a splash of color

You two do so well together

But who wouldn’t know

Since this is not the first time

You two have danced together

I stand on the edge

Of neither here nor there

Watching this dance of a story

Wishing I could be a part of it

Though I myself do not dance

Since I am just a star

That watches from afar

Wrapped in gold

I cannot even begin to hold

A candle to this display of love and trust

I wish to add the gold to this dance

Like in the summer times rays

Of dusk and dawn

I may not be light nor darkness

But oh how I wish

I was both

So that I may have a small place amongst you both

But even if I am a star

I do not get a wish

No matter how many times I make it

Even so, I get a chance to watch this show

Every day and though repetitive

I do not tire of it

For even the joy of watching you two be happy

Is enough for me to keep on shining

So ill be a star that lingers

Just on the edge of this story

Of day and night
