Stars 

A burning passion roaming the night’s sky
placing me in between heaven and earth.

Dare I ask for more among the silent twinkles,
or is it enough to know they are there?

Stars, collect all of my feelings that you
give so freely to the night, and my eyes are
closed to the journey of trust ahead.
