A Glimpse of Starlight

they say you fall in love

but falling makes me think of

descending,

regressing

isn’t love a climb,

with slips and stumbles

but always reaching

higher?

~ 

they say hope is fragile,

but fragility makes me think of

weakness,

cowardice

aren’t the hopeful the strongest,

in the face of darkness

always bravely believing in the

light?

~ 

they say to follow your heart

but the heart makes me think of

deceit,

manipulation

shouldn’t you follow the Truth,

sometimes stiffling and painful

but always ultimately setting you

free?
