One who feeds on hope & seeks out the light
One who knows when to shine bright
And when to light someone else’s oil
One who sees the obstacle to a goal
And figures out how to maneuver through its trepid soil
One who seeks to be at peace
One who cautiously speaks
One who is pushing through this cursed decade
With love, with joy, without a decoy of freedom on their sleeve
One who lives as themselves
One who stands up tall
One who falls down
Heavy is the crown
For souls that feed on wonder
Even when their environments make them ponder
On what’s this all about
What’s this all for?
After experiencing striking disappointments
May we, astravores, soar
Go freely into that dark night
Don’t let them harden you
With love, with joy, with freedom, with resilience
Let your light be known
