Starlight


I dreamed
that I was starlight.
Drifting
Here and there.

In a blissful void
Without bounds
Where time didn’t care.

It smelled
Wonderful.

It tasted
Sweet.

It didn’t matter
Why.

A peaceful,
Deep
Fulfilling breath.

Contentment
With a sigh.

All I’ve seen,
All I’ve done,
My experiences
The thread.

Not of my life
As a whole,
But the path
By which I’ve led.

I saw the lesson
That was this dream.
My life the vast expanse.

The thread was true
As it made it’s way.
Not one stitch by chance.

It matters not
Who I’ve been
Or what I’ve been through.

Ne’er meant to change
Whom we are,
Only what we do.
