Peace Amongst the Stars

Most at peace amongst the stars, 

sitting under their dazzling lights. 

They hope: they shine:

They sparkle brightest at night.

A metaphor, really.

To think, even in the darkest of times, 

one can shine brightest.

As I look up at them, 

That is what I am reminded of.

The star is me.

The star is you.

The star is peace.

The dark can’t cast out what is strong against it.

Therefore, hold firm, little star.

And be reminded of that unending peace.
