Remembering Tracey Charrier

The Shining Golden Star
by Tracey Charrier

I went for a walk in the street one night 
And looked up at the dark blue sky. 
It was ever so bright, the power it had 
Felt very warm and not loose or tight, 
I looked up at it and it made me feel so special 
Because the way it was so alight it looked like a 
Lovely golden star inside of me.
When I went home it stayed in me 
That feeling all I had to do, 
Was go out and look up at the sky 
See that gold star then I knew that I started healing. 
To stop me crying. 


In memory

The Shining Golden Star was first published in issue 146 of the Pavement, in 2023. In late 2025, Tracey sadly passed away. We thank her for her words and for the light of her star: the love and warmth she has brought into so many people’s lives. Rest in peace.
