You Only See Stars When It's Dark

for Martin Luther King

You only
see Stars
when it's dark
That's when
their true essence
flourishes
in the night.
This is true
for other things
In your
darkest hours
the strength
of your
inner soul
shines bright
leading you
to a
new beginning
new ideas
new reality
with happiness
joy & love.
Keep up the fight.
