seeing the same star
from my window
from your window
seeing the same star
star
from the night
from the night
through the open window
starlight
the veil shifts
the dance will never end
Through the candle flame
Through the candle flame and out of the barn door I saw the stars piercing the velvet night. I walked outside; snow creaked. Straight above our heads a single star shone brightest as others spiralled in silence. Your hand was warm in mine. It is time to go back in.

stars softly
stars softly look down
a single distant owl calls
stones wise as lovers
in silence we watched
in silence we watched the storm of birds
stitch the tattered sky together
as the sun slid down behind the hills
stars shone through the spaces they had missed
star beat
beneath the star
beats the heart
above the beat
the star shines

beneath the star
beneath the star
beats the heart
grass slowly
grass slowly grows
star daisy-crowned
turns to face the moon
silence in the shadows
planting seeds
planting seeds by starlight
moonbeams guiding their growth
watered with tears and brightened by smiles
the wind from the north and the sun from the south
stars shoot
stars shoot, fall at night
– sacred imagination –
then the clouds blow in
