We Stars That Shine Here Below

We stars that shine here below
Each in our own cocoon of hope
Glow

We reach-

for stars that are beyond our attainment

We lose ourselves

In the gain for fame

The need for acceptance
The search
For love-
We run

We stars that shine here below

Glimmer
With each step that we take forward
Towards our destiny;
With each breath we
encroach upon our hearts desires
Seeing only possibilities

We shine,

for dreams revealed in the light of morning
We weep,
for the shadows of the past that slow our steps
We laugh,
at the naivety of love
We stand:
On the walls of justice and cry “Peace”

We stars that shine here below

Reflect rays no galaxy can match
Our hearts pulsate the strength of a thousand suns
Our lips speak the wisdom of ancient kings
Our eyes see only the vision of a new horizon

 And we Glow

We stars that shine here below
