Stars

Richard Louis Desormeaux Cox

Fading stars light my way ,
to new ones forming day to day.
In my mind, and my ears,
through my loves, and my fears.

I want to make a light for thee,
bring an end to naivete,
an eye for truth, reality,
a glow for all as was for me.
touching blindness, eternally.
