stars

its amazing how many songs or writings liken stars to love. i know that you've probably come across one or two. and its kinda interesting i suppose. to me stars are small, bright lights in the vast darkness, far away yet very near. they remind me of diamonds and songs, singing out loud and whispering words. they seem magical, precious, delicate, everlasting. in their simplicity they represent a million things.

and i suppose it makes sense that they are likened to love.

~twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky
twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are~

i have a recording of me singing that song when i was 2.

and i do wonder what stars are, what love is.

and love is, i suppose
something that can't really be defined
just
at the most
