Star Connection

the stars above glitter and

glance

and, driving to my house, I

begin to intuit

perhaps there is a star

for each of us

a place we can call home

a connection that we sense

and follow

like the cloud of sensibility gliding

through the mind’s sky

on that evening ride

suggesting

an intimacy

with light

and the vastness of space

that our hearts understand and

adore
