Day 231: One Star
∴
what is this portent of the morning?
how does one star
in a sea of burning stars,
give hope?
that splits the earth
in streaks of iridescent orange
and outlines us in lilac
as clouds encroach horizons
and shadows fill from behind?
·
when i walk with you
i am warmed
my blood courses for the trail
when i walk in you
i’m lit
and see the souls before me
when i walk to you
i’m blind
and conveyed toward
endless calling
one star,
coaxing home,
i am coming.
