stardust and silk
fireflies in your heart
in your hair and in your heart
on this magic path you chose
and on the front porch in the evening
over the lake and under your bed
lighting up your dreams and the depths of your love
reminding you there is light at the end of dark beginnings
that the stardust has wings
and bounces around on piano keys
playing the melody of calm and peace
you searched so far for
they tango on water lilies
and rest joyfully between your palms
the light of the moon reflected on silver leaves
trapped between seconds
flowing down the river of time
they accompany your soul
in this swimming competition of light
the one that comes from within
the one that you cannot go without
the one that never dims
the one that tastes of honey and feels like silk
i hold up the box and summon it
carefully placing it back
in your bright, roaring heart
