Stardust 6/12/2024

Stars in the sky
Are plentiful
With multitude
Of shapes and sizes
Made from stardust
And God’s love
Existing as the Universe
Around us. 

We are
Similar and different
Basic components
Existing within
Creating a uniqueness
Making us
One of a kind. 

Struggling often
To find a sense of purpose
Thinking
There’s no one else
With this dilemma
Keeping these feeling
sLocked deep inside. 

One day
Something triggers
A change
An opening occurs
In our consciousness
Some are blinded by fear
The unknown is scary
Never taking a chance
To spread our wings
Shriveling inside. 

Others embrace
Inner strength
Accepting change Is inevitable
Heightening all senses
Bringing forth
A sense of comradery
Realizing our similarities 
Connect us in many ways.

Shed old patterns
Learn to
Seize opportunities
Discover our unique qualities
That’s when life
Becomes fuller
As peace and balance
Becomes an integral part
Of who we are.
