“Unless we are creators we are not fully alive” - Madeleine L’Engle


When I was a star

I had light

And life

An innocent existence

 


When I was a star

I had stillness

And quiet

A peaceful persistence

 


When I was a star

There was no pain

No hate

No blurry confusion

 


But when I was a star

There was no love

No laughter

No you.

Clarification: "star" in this poem means "star in outer space," not "star of the show."
