Bright Star from Removals by Si Roxby

Change your coat,
From summer’s green to autumns burning yellow,
Blown away like leaves on a path,
Branching over old names carved in the bark.

Frozen cold,
The scars of winter’s frost become apparent,
Melts away like ice on your hand,
Flowing over the cracks torn in the ground.

Dropping low below the skyline,
Without you to keep it burning for long,
My bright star lost deep in your heart.

Tell no one,
Where all the things we cared about are hidden,
Turning stones as tides wash away,
Clouding over as dusk darkens the day.

Dropping low below the skyline,
Without you to keep it burning for long,
My bright star lost deep in your heart.

Pushing through,
The shoots of something new begin to flourish,
Given time and a little space to grow,
Turning slowly to catch the heat of the sun.

Rising up beyond the skyline,
In your arms will keep me burning so long,
My bright star found safe in your heart.
