Étoile

Suzanne Mondoux · 6 May 2020

It seems I come from you It seems we, all life comes from you Étoile so close and yet so far How many lifetimes will it take before I reach this light

I’ve traveled alone all of my life Sometimes I see, sometimes I don’t I’ve forgotten to look up for you In the darkest of skies I could not see you

Étoile, I’m to wish upon you Twinkle twinkle they say to you Étoile Yet no wish comes true but life continues Twinkle twinkle Étoile Where are you

Étoile you take so many shapes In your celestial sphere you become many I see animals and creatures You even dip a little or a lot

Sometimes Étoile you show me the hunter, the twin and the bull Étoile, where am I in this celestial design Twinkle twinkle Étoile Sometimes you fall Does your light go out

Étoile, twinkle twinkle in this grand design With your angel-like wings So bright you rain down on me I wish upon Étoile I wish upon Étoile I seek balance where I see you You embrace notable stars On the equator of my life I wish upon Étoile
