When you are around,
the sun shines a tad brighter,
the moon appears more soothing,
and the stars travel down to the ground
When you are around,
the life has profound meaning,
there exists excitement,
and myriad versions of you appear mysteriously,
wearing a sparkling crown
And when you are not,
Life still survives
but there is no excitement to look forward to,
no verve to tame,
and no desire to aspire.

I was just wondering what when ‘you are’ not around, and as if you were in my head, you concluded in the last stanza. Lovely piece..
