From Light in Silent Struggle

Stars bind worlds
and keep them in their fold,
arcs of tender holding,
creating place and distance
in the cradle of life foretold,
as light permeates these spheres,
and as environs forge ahead,
life from simple beginnings
may find a way to shed its skin,
and evolve.

Worlds so many,
finding ways to become,
to thrive and give life a chance,
follow paths not trodden,
beneath a cosmos of shear romance,
where life springs eternal,
always finding a way,
struggle the epitome
of hope
and the rewards in play.

How many worlds exist,
far beyond our minds and imagination,
eking out lives in endless arrays,
in endless environments,
in such diverse ways,
and we sit staring blankly at the sky,
seeing little but twinkling lights
and darkness in its wake,
when life does surround us
to inspire an incomplete heart’s ache.

I can see in my minds eye,
so many lives beyond my presence,
yet they are of my essence,
wanting to understand who we are,
and share that incompleteness, that ache,
when hearts seek answers,
yet there is a wall between us,
a distance in time and space,
we wish to erase,
and find our core.
