Starless Sky
a poem about Taipei
Taipei, Taipei, starless sky
Up above the world so high
I can't see you, your guiding light
You never show up, day or night
Taipei, Taipei, starless sky
I look up and you always hide
You're full, but down here lose your power
Starlight wasted by the hour
Taipei, Taipei, starless sky
I look up and I wonder why
You're bright, but light cannot shine true
Clouds like a membrane obscure view
Taipei, Taipei, starless sky
I feel a void, a great divide
You're strong, but cannot break on through
Pollution thick; light sticks like glue
Taipei, Taipei, starless sky
Sometimes I look up and I cry
I miss you stars, why did you leave
Without your guidance eyes bereaved
Taipei, Taipei, starless sky
Even if you really try
You won't see them, they've gone away
For now it's starless, black and gray
