~~ For once ~~

Its nice to sit beneath the stars
Just for once...
With buried healing scars.

Its nice to look toward the sky
Just for once...
And not to cry.

Quiet,
With promise of a new moon.
To enliven thoughts, lighten steps.
Words strung together
With spaces of nothingness.
Pointing with empty hand.
What’s between the stars and earth?
A hazy land too unsubstantial to be seen?
Yet felt.
Hushhhhh….enough now

It’s good to feel the sun can warm
Just for once...
A heart that’s torn

And it’s good to know,
A smile, surreptitiously, can rise
Now and then...
Behind these hazel eyes…

For once...
