For the stars shine through her soul

[Maggy Potter]

For the stars shine through her soul
She is sole and alone
But her spirits are clear
as silk they have holes

Through which starlight shines
enlightening both her words and her mind

She stays quiet, she listens
and when she speaks, her words glisten

She is wise, but not very smart
She has trouble getting around in this world

Her words are simple, her message pure
But from her eyes, tears pour

Won't you listen?
Won't you try?
As her life
passes by

She's a ghost
Who just knows a lot
But that wisdom
is starting to rot

Listen, listen
to the ghost of the girl
Listen to what she says

Maybe once you'll be that girl
And wish you listened
Wished you knew the right way
