To Touch the Stars
By Rithy Vu
Tears frozen solid in the clouds
Melting away from the skies
Walking upon the groundless air
Touching the earth as it dries
Holding breathless in time
Motionless through a sea of dreams
Serenity that is so sublime
Nothing is as what it seems
Afraid of drowning in a gray lake
Exposed to an enormous danger
What if the lords just could make
A wandering soul love a stranger
Oh just to touch the star's fire
To find the heart of a rose
Flying above heaven, even higher
Embraced oneself for thy eyes close
Summer winds drift in the cloud's breath
Happiness shattered into endless pain
Loneliness must stop in death
For only the hope in dreams remain
