The Stars spoke of an old man

The stars tell a story
A story of long ago
One almost an epic
of a prisoner growing old

The stars told me
of his doubts and fears
of his blind love and mistakes
that lead to his imprisonment

yet he got up on his old feet
and shook off his old age
walked out into the sunshine
and breathed fresh air again

He returned to the pack
given a warm welcome
he decided to get comfortable
and settle in

he came with one intention
to help and to teach
so that none may become old
the same way he did

he now circles the sleeping ones
making sure they are safe
even though he might overdo,
all that matters is his good inention

and now the sun rises
and the stars go hide
their story told and remembered
as history is begun to be written once more
with this new dawn

existence
old man observed from a distance.. he was not really intrusive.. even if he overdid, his good intentions in no way could harm by any chance.. it could only benefit others..
but in general its not only good intent that matters.. it should come with a responsibility.. should nt it? we tend to be callous otherwise and get away

I loved the story telling by this star and appreciate what the MAN is doing.
" all that matters is his good intention". Yup, that's all matters.
