Dreamers Like Us......

what are the stars then

if not our very hopes and dreams

thrown up into the air

caught by the hands of Grace

swirled in a derverish dance

lit on fire

and then maybe one day

daringly

sent back down

to see if we re-member

what are the stars then

but all those original dreams

the ones untainted

by lust, greed, power

fear, inadequacy, failure

the ones of youth

the innocents

before the world found out

our weak spot

and poked and pried us there

until we finally one day

forgot - our own beauty

forgot - our own innocence

forgot - our own  gentle spirits

what are the stars then

but a final re-membering

a final coming together

of what was always

meant to have been

but of course it doesn't work that way

does it

there is always the journey

sometimes dark and long

sometimes lonely and silent

a long and winding road

back

to who we were meant to be

what are the stars then

but our own beauty

shining back down upon us

telling us over and over and over

you are ok

telling us over and over and over

you are more than ok

you have survived

and you have more than survived

you have thrived

and you have more than thrived

you have shone

shone so brightly

this here star

is You.
