Like stars that fall from elsewhere


Like stars that fall from elsewhere, leaking light,
do come the things we don’t expect.
But hear: with open arms I greet them all
though knowing burns as armor won’t protect.

My lover waits and stands on grassy hills
across the clouds between the darkened skies.
It's not the earth that blooms before me, no;
what haunts me softly are my lovers eyes.
