Beyond

And when it seems

That all around has fallen

And I am made to break

I look into myself

And find a truth

Which I can hold on to

Hope is closer

To my eyes

It shines through my tears

A star in my sky

The leaves have

Turned to dust

And yet

It seems

From them

Arises a new form

Of life

With pain, of course

And suffering

But still there

I may have been dishonest

When I talked of ashes

I think, maybe

That with the right star

Even from the

Most blackened of hearts

Beauty can rise

And I am so glad

That I have found my star.

You.
