&i; am absolutely in love with the stars, how they glow with a humbling superiority from their cosmic, hallowed heights

i am kinder than the ocean waves, i hope, because they break with a strength to rival a jackhammer against the same shores they kiss gently

i am in awe when i see the evergreens— they stand powerful and proud and unreachable  and still, still, even after generations of hearing and seeing everything

i am jealous of the sun's rays, because they get to lay their tender golden fingers on your proud face while i'm far and away under the moon's guard
