sunlight and stardust
Published in

you can’t halt the river’s flow
or bid the moon not to glow
you can’t embrace the sun’s warmth
nor quell the wild spirit’s chase
you can’t bid a star to dim its light
or ask the wind to cease its rush
you can’t cage a bird when skies are its home
nor hold back time’s cosmic roam
you can’t tell a child to stop dreaming
nor hold back your lover from leaving
accept life’s flow with open eyes
as it scatters stardust across the skies
