streaks to the sky
and ends at a glowing star
The light starts below the tree line
somewhere distant and fades away
swallowed by the summer night sky
We walk on into the evening
watching uneven sidewalks
and curbs hidden in the dark
eyes on the ground ahead
forgetting completely the beam
for the moment at hand
and then a breeze or something
stirs us to look up again
between the neighbors’ trees
and we see again that light
twelve miles away
lighting someone else’s way
from here to eternity
forever etched in someone’s mind
the heart wound never healed
the motherless child, the childless mother
and others whose heart song
is carried by a following blue
beam streaking into the sky
