Why do stars blink?
Anything goes, just remember to tag me @DidYouEatYet!!
wink
stars stare
down at you,
clamoring, burning
for your attention,
your admiration,
your praise.
we stare back,
watching and wondering
how they hold their shining eyes open
for all eternity.
but when we look away,
that's when the stars blink,,
finally breaking their facade
of unblinking watchfulness.
they stare and
we take their sight as caring.
so they keep staring
telling us they care
but even stars need to blink sometimes.
and they blink when we look away,
finally able to pause their empathy
and replace it
with apathy
just for a moment.
