I follow...

 a distant star.
An emerald...so bright.
Shattering my dark,
and solitary nights.
I've no road map.
There're no street lights.
I follow...
because it's the most
brilliant star hanging in
the sky, in my eyes.
I've lived by night for
years,without light.
I follow...
and for the first time in my life,
putting in the miles is an
activity that's worthwhile.
So what if direction and
destination, are up in the air?
I'm not inclined to care,
having spent so many years
going absolutely nowhere.

Willing to go
anywhere...
everywhere...
Just to be going
somewhere.
