Starlight

A poem about love.

Starlight

What is it to 

walk together

talk together 

but never be 

able to

truly know, what 

is in

each others 

hearts? 

to peel away

layers

each day

striving to, make 

our actions, match 

our words 

our words, match

our thoughts

our thoughts, match 

our hearts, hoping, that

in this life 

at least

one other, will

come

to truly know us, as

we truly are 

to say, that

we are fortunate, when

we find this, with 

another human being, is 

like saying, that 

the planets are 

fortunate 

to find 

the sun's embrace, or

like watching 

the sunrise, and 

hearing birds singing

through 

the bars, of

a prison cell 

to desire to 

be truly one with 

another 

to crave it, with 

our entire beings 

is at once, the 

illusively beautiful, and 

cruel nature, of 

this

reality 

and also, the 

perfection

of our lives, something

worth striving for 

because in the end

after the struggles of

a lifetime

we 

must 

quietly 

return 

to our true aloneness 

like solitary stars 

eternally

mysteriously 

shining, with 

the light of becoming

part of

the greater

whole
