The Secret of the Star

Deeply carved into our skin a secret is revealed; a star belongs in each of us when layers are repealed; when knife meets flesh, the blood is drawn, imbedding seeds of doubt – but trials are the only way our star is wrestled out.

Deeply carved into our skin

a secret is revealed;

a star belongs in each of us

when layers are repealed;

when knife meets flesh, the blood is drawn,

imbedding seeds of doubt –

but trials are the only way

our star is wrestled out.

      This is one of my favorites, too – as soon as I looked up and saw that star, I knew a poem was being born… 🙂

    Our birches have such a hard time to survive around here… That’s a gorgeous tree.

      The beach we were at was lined with them – it was so pretty.
