Amidst the darkness of the forest,
I look up at the sky above.
My mind keeps dreaming, I am restless,
As stars keep talking about love.
They show me greatness, keep me anchored
To worlds outside—and one within.
I gaze at them and they are faithful,
They lead me to the state I dream.
They tell me secrets, sacred whispers,
Enlighten me with wisdom—words;
I love myself despite my shadows,
Another fate thus now unfolds.
Accepting weakness, finding greatness,
I’ve now evolved—another creed.
And just like stars, I shine in darkness,
Knowing myself—I have been freed.
