When I Can’t See the Stars

By April 7, 2017February 7th, 2018Sky Phenomena, Solaris Essay

Outside, the storm rages.

I can’t see the stars.

They are my comfort.

I know they are out there.

I cannot see them.

But my heart, remembers.

Life feels uncertain.

I can’t see the stars.

I’m trying to stay centered, focused.

On the love within my heart.

Something seems off in the world.

And the world wants to convince me

to join in it’s insanity.

I can’t see the stars,

but I know the direction I’m heading.

I stay focused.

Focused within.

I can’t see the stars,

but I know they are out there.

I know the storm will clear.

I know the clouds will part in the heavens.

I know the brightest star will shine through.

I know I will see our sun.

And in the evening,

when it’s peaceful,

after the storm passes,

they will be up there.

And I will laugh with them.

I will laugh at their movements.

I will laugh as they sparkle.

I will feel that they seem to know me.

I will feel their love, and comfort,

I will feel companionship, and brothers in arms.

When I can see the stars.

In the meantime –

I hope.  I wait.  I hear the storm outside my home.

And I remind myself, not to let it effect, me.

And I remind myself, that love is my priority.

And I remind myself, that this is my Soul path.

And I remind myself, that this is what I do out of love.

I stand by me.

Under the stars.

Under the cloud cover.

Looking out the window,

living my life,

knowing, and waiting.

They are hidden from view.

But I can feel them.

I can feel their sparkle.

I can feel their light.

I can’t see the stars.

But their imprint is on my heart.

Their magic flows through my life.

Their memory inspires me.

For there will be a time, soon,

when I can see the stars.

Again.

Love, Solaris
