Stardom
I carry my silence with me
it’s a place in which trees
and plants and the whole
of nature exist without words
the pure being unqualified
by thought or even feeling
in this place there is love
that demands no expression
love as the air moves
through my lungs
love as the blood courses
through my veins
love that resolves
the mystery of the universe
so that I no longer ask
why stars ?
we – you and I – are the light
that illuminates
the darkness
we are warmth
I cannot see everywhere
that I am
I can only be
as I am
