Sundown Reflections...

I saw a star shining bright

I knew I'll burn if I go near alright

I go death near all the same

Like a foolish moth succumbs to the flame

I spread my hands to touch the star

But lo! my star goes further afar

I start to follow but what do I see?

There's a gaping dark gulf waiting for me

Have I fallen too deep or could still turn around

I decided to turn but couldn't go round

I wonder what it was as i fall on my knee--

A mirage, a dream or a drop of eternity...
