Compassion

Like so many of you,
there are stars, each one
a silver flame strangely
burning.

How terrible immersed
in such beauty and hidden;
the perishable darkness a hood
over our heads.

Dear small lights, sweet
cold bringers-of-joy,
the journey is brief,
the void endless and still

the eyes that catch
your latent brightness
glow.
