"Stellar Resilience" was inspired by a dark New England star-filled night. Looking up at that night sky, I found those stars gave me a sense of peace from their unwavering light, especially compared to the vast darkness. This poem uses that celestial image as a metaphor for the resilience within each of us.

Listen to poem:

In the vast expanse of life's dark space, Be patient, tough, like stars that grace The endless night with steady light— Guiding you through the hardest fight. This pain, a comet's fiery trail, Will blaze a path where dreams prevail. For one day, through the cosmic storm, Your strength will shine, your heart transform.
