light

the rare
star, brighter
than most.
comes along
and startles
you, blinds you
for an instant,
makes you lean
back and admire
the view from
here, on this
cliff, with an
etched deep
earth below.
you want to
reach out
and grab it,
to feel
the sparkle
in your hand,
and hold it
to your heart
and see what
she sees.
