To the Stars
Have you ever found yourself
befuddled and dazed
staring up at the night sky, looking
for the words to say
what it is you feel about
the splendor of the stars
planets, moons, galaxies
and the truth of who you are?
A molecule of mystery
an ocean full of dreams
a parade of pristine potential
waiting to be seen
somewhere in the hallowed halls
between love and deep despair
you find your place
and see the face
of Beauty way up there...
And soon enough find solace
in the beating of your heart
despite feeling like a grain of sand
you're Someone's work of art
treading on this beach of wonder
the shoreline of your life
feeling more connected now
To the stars in this dark night.
