Stars Shine

To see
And be seen.
To feel
And be free.
Reach your hand to see.
Reach your mind to free.

I see you.
Letting all beseech you
With their smiles and tired eyes.
–But within your eyes
Star shine.

I see you cry–
An essence of love–
When joy has been torn from you.
–But within your eyes
Stars shine.

I see you anger–
And all the world may hang
On the defiance of your words.
–But within your eyes
Stars shine.

And I see you smile–
The smiling is a word unspoken
The smiling is a love unbroken
And within your eyes
Dark stars
Shine.
