Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Little Star

picture of my daughter when she was much younger (she's 16 now)
Shine on little star
Claim your place in the sky; your light
shall not be obscured
You are a daughter
of the Sun and Moon, no lesser than
the many sons
Your beauty 
illuminates the night
Your radiance
guides the way
Your fire
will protect you and those you love
Do not be daunted by the vastness
of the Heavens
They were made for you
to have a place to dance
