Today, I sat by the river bank
and sunk my toes into the silt.
I docked with the Earth,
but could not find you on it.
You are no-where,
in daylight invisible,
but the stars will come out
in a few hours and I will
search among them for you.
Twinkle, twinkle.
You are the only star I want
from these dark heavens.
This poem was originally published under the pen name Gabriel Gadfly.
