The Stars Are My Guide

My feet blister in my shoes

The heat whisks away my soul
My heart pounds harder than before
The drum stops beating evermore

Night falls deeper with each hour
My eyes begin to shut
Foot after foot step I begin to go
The stars are my guide

Exhausted I stop
My heart ceases to pop
My joints are falling apart
With one final wish
I blow the world a kiss and
see the stars as I close my eyes
When I wake the breaths I take
are a blessing in disguise
I slowly begin to cry

Whenever I don't know the way the stars are my guide.

I guess you wrote this after you ran the night time Jingle Bell Run, eh? 3 miles in 23:09 ain't bad!
