I love a clear night when the stars twinkle and I can make out a planet or two. In those moments, I feel the universe is bestowing peace onto my soul.


The Vow

The night sky holds wonder,
the vastness of what was
and what will be.

Vision strained upon the stars,
I rise, my spirit intent
on finding those lost
to this planet
there amongst them.

Each twinkle could be their energy
signaling me
to hold steady,
do not lose hope.
One day we will reunite.

Until then, I will stride with purpose
and love with abandon,
knowing with a surety
they are there
shining
whatever the sun brings
my way.
