Twinkle Star

once upon a star,
you smiled from afar
your humility and compassion -

my sanctuary, my salvation
i held on at all costs,
never imagining your loss
once upon a star,
i longed from afar

"Once upon a time..."tales are my favorites. So is the "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" rhyme. Thought would combine the two to come up with something unique, still in the draft version...
