The Consolation of Poetry

"I want to make a poem of my life."
- Yukio Mishima
I am a star in a sad
midnight:
often, it only speaks about
a flickering hope —
to fight for reason
and a reason to fight.
If I am a logic
I shall reside between
two premises:
I am a mortal, I live happily,
I am happy but soon it shall end.
Do not pity a man like me.
There is no logic in a star:
It only shines for one purpose —
To make the night worth remembering.
But only if you and I see the light.
