[hometext] => Please comment, I aim to get better.
[bodytext] => Silver floating aimlessly across a periwinkle veil They work together, shielding us from seeing what is far out there Sitting on a park bench, girl looks up and mutters to herself, “I can’t wait ‘til the stars come out.” Everyone is waiting for their chance to see the glitter sky Impatiently awake until they finally catch Orion’s eye Lady on the park bench feels the chill but doesn’t run inside, She’s dreaming of another life. Lovers in the night, their bodies tangled like a creeping vine Woman on the bench forgets that staring is not much polite Red leaves riding nighttime winds brush bare ground then take off again They’ll try but they won’t reach the stars. Barrier turns paler blue, opaquely shielding stars from view A little at a time, until the sun begins the day anew Green paint wearing on the wood, the park bench still stands where it’s always stood By itself but never alone.
