She never understood the
Strength of hope
Or the beauty of the starry sky
On a clear night
Until it was laid before her
Behind the transparency of dense clouds
On a too-dark night
It became a game
They exchanged glances
Played hide and seek
Until it was no longer a game and
She missed that flickering beacon
Her stare shook the stars and in return
They calmed her wild spirit
And soothed her chaotic soul
