Star Mind

Night is only shadow

in which the stars remind

that light is all around,

still burning. This, an admonition

to us,

the small dimensionists,

the ones,

in all this matter,

that struggle with our fear.

The frailest of birds,

in the coldest dark,

sleep sound, somewhere. So,

as this earth turns,

each day,

and night

until a lifetime

of days and nights

recede into the final shadow, there

is only

somehow having learned,

to sleep sound

and dream

in star mind.
