Reflecting starlight

 

The slow cool drizzle

tickles my dirty face.

Trickles race down the canyons

that tears have worn away.

I smile,

as I walk head held high,

the slick asphalt shines.

Crossing light reflections.

I reflect on circumspect

feelings. Too scared to

grab the future.

So, I stay in line,

avoiding the cracked

crazy paving pathways.

All I ever seem to find.

 

I sidestep the puddles

of misery that line the mind.

I shimmer through the tree-lined

streets I find. I smile,

as I walk head held high.

Letting go, a sighing breath.

The branches of yesterday

brushing past me,

Too fearful was I to live,

that I walked a slow death.

 

Concrete towers

block out the soothing moon,

but I know I'll see her soon.

I carry the weight

of so many years 

on my back,

feels like I'll snap,

but instead, I smile,

as I walk head held high.

Along these lanes,

glistening puddles,

reflecting starlight

into my eyes.
