Stars
By Bethany Thompsett

A star will shine brightly
on a dark night
in amongst all the chaos
lies a pinprick of light

A world built of magic
of hope and of love
each star tells a story
each written above

But they lie in darkness
in the depths of despair
their true beauty hidden
in a world without care

So to find such a star
in an abyss of hate
is a joy and a freedom
the finger of fate

So that just like in our lives
built on death and on pain
there are moments of light
to make us whole again.
