Ahem

I knew you once
I had a friend
I moved away
Our time did end

Oh you, always
you did excel
sportlich, brilliant
you would do well

como el sol
you did give light
now from afar
you twinkle bright

once I wondered
you disappeared
among so many
stars in the sky

now I wander
across the night
earthly confines
not on my mind

Life was simply
too amazing
blew my mind up
gave me hiccups

til I learned to
pilot soberly
Starship earth I'll
fly to you, you'll see

You'll see how we
now are grown men
Men! What a wild
dream this is

Now do we be
perpetrators
actors, serious
movers, shakers

Like ancient kings
railroad tycoons
bandits, gangsters
artists, mystics

What are you now?
My telescope
was only so good
showed where, not what

Like any star
your point of light
would glimmer, shine
Boring, from here

You must have had
your flares, your storms
Megatons roil
Elements boil

Supernova?
I don't think so
but I am no
astronomer

Perhaps you have
become a dwarf
Again, I doubt
but we will see

Do you sport life?
Have planets, wife?
Have struggle, strife?
Enjoy your life?

Do you burn hot?
or not, or what?
diligent work?
lazily shirk?

Are you pulled-on?
puppet-like led?
Pushed by fam'ly?
Beaten... dead?

You look fine yet
from here, yet we
know how space works
light years hide tears

What news from you?
A heart that was
once mine, now grown
apart in time

Yet roots and vines
do intertwine
is that you there?
I feel my roots...
twitching
