I wrote this back in high school and I wanted to share it with my followers. Christmas can be such a hard time of year for me because of grief. This poem is based off of one of those years.

Star So Bright

By: Katie Butterfly

A star so bright

Sending me it’s light

It’s so far away

I want to catch it today

I want to sing

Let the sound ring

I’m full of delight

Looking at its sight

It’s a cold December night

Everything about it is just right

I hear a train in the distance

It’s putting me in a trance

I hear the music play

It has a lot to say

The wordless song

Has a message so long

It’s a Christmas lullaby

Coming down from the sky

Makes me shiver everywhere

But, I’m not cold or scared

It’s a mystical feeling

The hatred is peeling

I love this star

It erases the scar

The pain haunting my dreams

Is suddenly gone, it seems

This is very tragic

It must be magic

A star so bright

Sending me it’s light

It’s not so far away

I caught it’s light today
