Starlight On New Year's Eve

What future end do you envision for yourself?
It is hard to know future reality from imagined ends.

How hard this life wears on us as the journey deepens.

They said she died alone and homeless
In a parking lot in Santa Ana
After an attempted robbery.

{Younger days on the stage
Her voice on record
And floating through the air}

As the year was readying to turn
She passed from this place
That failed her. 

Ancient light of dying stars 
Reaching her eyes.
Warm breath on a cold night

And eventually 
Ever her breath 
Turned Cold.
