This

 This is what I most want
unpursued, alone
to reach beyond the light
that I am furthest from.


And for you to shine there-
no other happiness-
and learn, from starlight,
what its fire might suggest.


A star burns as a star,
light becomes light,
because our murmuring
strengthens us, and warms the night.


And I want to say to you
my little one, whispering,
I can only lift you towards the light
by means of this babbling.
