Stars

The air smells sweet 
the air cool
The grass so full of life
So full of life
It all makes you feel small
but also like the world is made just for you
You whisper secrets
the trees whistle secrets of their own
and now you know them too
and you wait for the stars to come out
you look at the sky
and close your eyes
and you wait for the stars to come out
and they come out
and although logic says otherwise 
you know they are just for you
just for you
and they gleam in the sky
like happy tears
leaking out of eyes
unseen
but understood
and you whisper secrets
and the stars sing them back
and others might not look at the stars
that is okay
just please don't take my stars away

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
