Starlight

They were the mountains

Immovable, looming above

Looking down on us

Telling us we could not

Telling us we weren’t enough

But we traversed the trails

Climbed the rocks and cliffs

Over the top, and down the other side

Then moved along

Until they were nowhere in sight

They were the blazing sun

Beating down upon us

Burning with it’s touch

Demanding to be seen

Demanding to be heard

But we found refuge in the shadow

Of a tall, old tree

Laughing the day away

Watching the sun as it set

Leaving us to the night

They were the night

Casting darkness upon our world

Shadows to hide us

Fear to consume us

To tear us apart

But our dreams were the moonlight

Banishing the darkness

Our hopes embedded in it’s pure white glow

And we

We were starlight
