Light

Stars are drowned by light, their sparks extinguished

by the sun or city lights. Plunged into darkness, erased

from sight until another cloudless country night.

Stars share the sun’s nurturing power,

caring, bathing in light, helping

animals, humans, plants, reach out

to become what they are meant to be,

patiently abiding, while they are

groping slowly, trying to find their true form.

Life comes in many shapes, sizes,

varying from one celled animals, seeds

to dinosaurs. Each has its unique

shape, point of view, path to travel

to its final destiny:

union with the light.
