Poetry by Linda M. Crate
little blue star
a little blue star
once led me home
as he was dying
his fires were soft and warm
made me feel like home maybe
we were once lovers in another
universe that i no longer
remember
i just know he was kind,
and he didn't judge me or ask questions
he was just there to make the shoddy streetlamps
hang their heads in shame as he provided me
with more light and made me feel safer
as he was falling out of life than they ever had
when they took to shining out their song.
