A New Star in the Firmament

Fortune-tellers said
that there’s a new star in the firmament,
that if I close my eyes,
and listen to my heart,
I’ll see her,
that everything a man asks for is in this star.

Fortune-tellers said
that I could only perceive her with my heart,
that I should never try to use my eyes,
that the star does exist,
that I should trust her,
for she’ll guide me
for the rest of my days,
but that, first and foremost, I have to believe in her.

Fortune-tellers said
that there’s a new star in the firmament
that asks for me,
and that I should see her,
but I’m afraid of her,
for my heart is so sensitive
that it could be shattered.

Fortune-tellers said
that there’s nothing to be afraid of,
that I should trust her,
but my heart is in a mess.

Fortune-tellers said
that I should close my eyes,
and listen to my heart,
and then I’ll see her!

Now I’m closing my eyes,
and listening to my heart.
Now, I can see her!
Now, a bright light is shining in my heart,
for I’ve found her.
 


This is for those who have their stars in the firmament.
