//------------------------------// // My Friend Starlight // Story: The Spike Poem Anthology // by Zephyr Spark //------------------------------// When I think of Starlight, I don’t think of the villain who hurt us because that’s not her When I think of Starlight, I don’t think of Twilight’s new pupil because she’s so much more When I think of Starlight, I think of the mare who’s come through so much The mare who learned friendship The mare who saved us from disaster The mare who proves anyone can overcome the darkness The mare who can stand side by side with Starswirl the Bearded The mare who I call my friend The mare who calls me family The mare who triumphs And I can only stare below her mountain As she breaks through the sky and brings us the sun As she descends from the mountain To share her light with me
