My Star
I used to look at the stars and saw nothing.
Until I met you.
Then I knew stars were compasses.
And that their use was not outdated or constrained to voyagers.
I was lost.
Boxed in and boxed by life.
And you found me.
And gave me a chance.
Stars don’t shine in the light.
Maybe that’s why I took so long to see you.
When I was captivated in darkness,
You shone in blinding brightness.
The only thing I have seen ever since
Is the silhouette of your kindness and happiness.
The beauty of the stars light up the world.
That’s why every moment with you opens up doors for me.
My humility elevates me to viewing you.
And your empathy that stretches beyond.
You are my star.
