Poem: The Stars that Light Up

I want to say, “never again!”
but I will be a fool if I believe
the ‘never,’ for no one knows
the faith of their life
the faith of their heart:
the faith that someone
or something will change
their lives in a grand style:

I want to say, “never again!”
will I fall in love, 
instead, I tell myself,
“Let my heart, grow more to love,
the smallest and the brightest star
that brings me a feeling 
that is abundance, joyfulness 
and life: above the clouds, 
above the sky, in the  dark,
the dimmers of lights:
even when I feel love has taken me,
for only a moment ride:
that once brought heavy tears
through the lenses of my eyes:

I want to say never again
i will fall in love 
even when things seem off, 
even when things may not seems bright:
I whisper in the silence, when I am alone, 
to the thought mind, "You are loved, 
you are worthy, cherish, you are beautiful, 
like the colorful rays of rainbows 
I have never seen with my own eyes, 
up in the sky: even when I come to be aware
that love is only, for the brave hearts
that ride through the storm, rides
through the clouds and ride in the heat
of the season nights: to rescue, save, 
their love ones’
every time the sun rest:
every time the sun rise:
still, I can dream, that brave love
somehow will find their hearts,
will find the jewel clusters
shining ever so bright:
like the twinkling stars,
that light up the day
and the unlighted deep of the night.
