Can you see the millions of stars across the sky?
Where, upon the morrow, they will all fly,
To the darkest depths and the furthest planes,
Of this world and the next, strung along like trains
We reach out to grab them, to be strung along
But they do not wait and leave us, with solemn song
Do they, you wonder, go into the dark?
To shine their light in a brilliant ark?
To light this world anew, maintain its life,
Along with other worlds, soothing like a fife?
When darkness is upon us, when all seems dark and bleak,
They come ahead and guide us, to show us what we seek
I wish that I could join them, to be among their ranks,
But it is not my place, to give them but my thanks,
For to embark on their journey forevermore
Would be an insult to them trillion times a score
For only the most beautiful of souls are they
Who can ask, receive, and may
Light the souls of those they cherish
That their souls might not perish
Where, upon the morrow, they will all fly,
To the darkest depths and the furthest planes,
Of this world and the next, strung along like trains
We reach out to grab them, to be strung along
But they do not wait and leave us, with solemn song
Do they, you wonder, go into the dark?
To shine their light in a brilliant ark?
To light this world anew, maintain its life,
Along with other worlds, soothing like a fife?
When darkness is upon us, when all seems dark and bleak,
They come ahead and guide us, to show us what we seek
I wish that I could join them, to be among their ranks,
But it is not my place, to give them but my thanks,
For to embark on their journey forevermore
Would be an insult to them trillion times a score
For only the most beautiful of souls are they
Who can ask, receive, and may
Light the souls of those they cherish
That their souls might not perish

Golden Path!
Moonlight painted ocean path
Across calm sea of dreams
Angelic moonbeam, magic sight
Path of pure golden light.
Where does it lead? this endless path
Iridescent night-time sea
Destination 'Celestial Plain'
Where beauty abides ~ never to wane.

On Stars
I was once told not to reach for the stars because I would get burned.
The sun is a star, my Father reminded me, his hair white dwarfs atop his head, fizzling out towards the front to show his age. Stars are balls of gas that'll burn your pretty litl' frame to a crisp; don't get hurt, aim for something concrete, solid.
I was thirteen. I had told him how I wanted to be a writer. He called me a dreamer, caught up in the Milkyway.
But Dad, I pleaded, and I could feel lunar quakes wrack me from my core. I love it. I love the feel of a pen in my hand, the crinkle of paper under my palms, the ink blotches on my fingers. I love all of it. It make

Memories
I remember lying in bed with you, longing for a deeper connection. You would always sleep with your back to me, in an almost fetal position, as if you were physically guarding your heart. All I wanted was to touch those scars that ran down the center of your chest, but you told me you were not okay with someone else's heart beating within you so I let it be. The look in your eyes when you woke up in the morning; the sleepy surrealness of a dream playing at the corner of your lips, and the early morning light goldenly surrounding your messy hair like a halo was enough to quench any thirst I had for you. It was enough to resonate in me for a lo

When darkness is upon us, when all seems dark and bleak,
