The writing prompt was heavenly bodies. I imagine slow music with piano.
Days I feel the distance
Then you seem so far
The distances are greater
When I see the constellations
It is better when I scan the sky
And focus on one star
Because surrounding it is more
More than our imaginations
I could never try to say
What you and I could be
And to be apart
Only makes it worse
Other forces are in play
It is not only you and me
There is the power of the heart
Of the universe
A wiser man than me once said
Your wishes have been heard
When thoughts say it is all on you
Do not believe that voice
Trust that it is done
By the power of your word
The universe will offer
Its best answer to your choice
I could never try to say
What you and I could be
And to be apart
Only makes it worse
Other forces are in play
It is not only you and me
There is the power of the heart
Of the universe

The heart is a powerful force. It can override everything else. Insightful lyrics. Nice skirmish.

A rich philosophical turn for the common experience of being apart from someone you love. Extra points for the deep rhyme scheme of the chorus, ABCDABCD. Nice job for this skirmish!

That is a really insightful chorus. You develop the sentiment so well
In the verses and that chorus pulls it together so well. Well-crafted lyric, especially for a skirmish!
