In the vastness of the cosmos

Out where moonbeams never shone

I drifted, but a snuffed out star

In dimness, left alone

Without a fire to guide me

I pawed through asteroid dust

Grasping for another star

On whose light I could trust

How quickly other lights had fled

On seeing my estate

No comfort for a blackened star

That miserable ingrate

But there was one who ventured

To step nearer to my mark

Who saw brilliance in a sullen star

And so became my spark

When around was desolation

It was then he held me near

Igniting something in that star

Effacing all her fears

And slowly, although painful

As that spark shone in the night

I noticed deep within, my star

Was filling up with light

So I held him ever closer

Willing never to let go

Until the light from spark to star

Penetrated the cosmos

Though we both once walked in shadows

Now we balk at talk of dark

And the heavens laud the stories

Of sweet Starlight and her Spark ✨
