Even if they have wings,
birds can never fly without the sky.

I’m deep as the sea
But shallow on shores
I wave
Crashing into the eye of the storm
I calm

My heart took me places
My head could never go.

In dark times,
I'll follow the stars
from here to there,
arriving at my center
to trace my constellation.
If tonight is all I have,
I'll keep moving,
one with my shadow,
not knowing where this leads.
I'll cover new ground
when no one is watching
as stars align
to reveal a path through
the darkness toward
the bright spots ahead.
I'll take in the view,
under the stars
returning
the way I came.

lookin at black stars
and shining skies
listenin to running cars
and passerbies
